I too think they're getting ready for the next generation.

It wasn't really like that between G1 and G2, but between G2 and G3 (at least in Europe) you start to see a wind down/things only reaching certain areas, then G3 to 3.5 to 4 similar kind of thing happened in my opinion. I feel like G4 has been basically dead in the stores since the movie. That seemed like the "finale" of the toyline to me, nothing has kind of happened since then that's worth taking note of toywise (certainly not in the UK where literally nothing new has appeared in several months)...Also G4 are appearing more in charity shops and second hand sales. That's a good indication a line is reaching its end.I really think Hasbro would do well to let MLP have a couple of years break and then come back with some new twist completely different from anything that's gone before - but I think they've got unimaginative so expect minor twists on the same boring themes in the next year or two I guess...
It seems like the focus of toys at the moment are all the blind bag type toys, LOLs, capsule toys. They are everywhere. I can't name all the surprise type toylines now and they aren't cheap either.
