Design-wise, the sets were a bit pricy but fine.
The generous usage of trans pieces and stickers/prints trying to pretend to be greeble makes the sets look incoherent and garish.
At the $20 price tag/parts count, compare the CCBS Toas with a Titan like Brutaka or Axonn.
The new team did not know how the original team of Bob Thompson, Martin Andersen, and Christan Faber did it. From the presentation that new team had at ComicCon and that stupid art book they released after the line's cancelation, they only had a superficial knowledge of Bionicle, barely knew why fans liked the old sets, and drew Evangelion fan art as Bionicle concept art (search up the art book).
There wasn't enough for older fans and was too expensive (in addition to being undermarketed) and generic for younger fans (since so much of G2 was reliant on prerequisite knowledge of G1).
