Best guess? We've been told some damned lies.

It's possible, just to get the new-scale line off the ground. But I seriously doubt that's what we're actually seeing. That's obviously not an approach that can be sustained indefinitely and consumers hate price increases. Ever wonder why companies across the board are downsizing products? They're putting less and less toilet paper on the roll or fewer and fewer chips in the bag, etc. They keep the price stable and downsize the contents specifically because they know people lose their shit when prices go up and they have discovered that this little ruse fools enough morons to stave off angry mobs...at least so far. Anyway, I don't see Hasbro going out of their way to create a price increase situation for themselves, but it's certainly possible.
