The fact is they sold like shit, regardless of reason. It's most likely a combination of factors. Factors could include (but not limited to): The show isn't as popular as Samurai, the designs suits being ugly, TMNT taking sales away as it gets bigger, and TRU having a 6-pack for half the price of buying them alone.

None of these things are based on the toys' quality. Quality normally has very little to do with it.

That's another factor. New scale (and probably price point) means new aisle layout that old toys won't be included in.
