I would guess that the reason is like all other puffed up packaging:
Trying to make up for shoddy and ill-supplied products. (Half a box/bag
of air EX: Cheezits, Doritos, etc.)

Sanjay,
<tongue was firmly in cheek for the duration of this post>

I would hope so, I was trying to keep my innards from exiting. :)

;) ...I get that feeling everytime I see the Town Jr sets on the shelves of
my local toy shop.  I'm amazed at how large the boxes have become and on
speaking to the manager it seems he can't understand the trend either.

Hmmmm ... when I got the SW sets, all of them were of 'normal' depth.  The
boxes are about the same size as before ...

Is it just a coincidence?
