I'm not a Star Wars collector but have still heard a lot about really bad price increases, same with Marvel. Do we know if this more about a sales slump (and they're trying to make up the difference by charging more to fewer buyers) or is Disney raising their royalty rates again and Hasbro is having consumers eat the cost?

I tried to look this up but couldn't find anything on it.

IIRC, Disney wants a base 25% of MSRP to go into their pocket, but will drop it down for companies they've got good history with or just move a whole lot of product. Hasbro appeared to have one of the better percentages of any of Disney's licensees. But with Hasbro losing the Disney Princess license (it's back at Mattel) there's a decent chance that Hasbro has been downgraded to the standard percentage.
