That's because it went on 4 years, which is about the lifespan of a show these days and kids lose interest and thus don't buy the toys. Same thing happened to the Nick cartoon, only they're not generous enough to keep renewing the show for more seasons like 4kids was.

This is why cartoons should never be tied to toy sales. This isn't the 80's/90's anymore where kids loved playing with action figures. Kids these days use youtube, ipads, tablets, mobile phone games, etc. in addition to videogames so they don't play with toys as much as they used to.
