Well, it's also usually more expensive overseas to buy American toys. What makes Transformers even more expensive at the time is that the cost of living in HK at the time is also much cheaper. When I emigrated shortly after the 1986 Movie came out, I recall everything in Canada cost 2-3x more, even after the exchange rate.
Anyway, CAD20 Optimus makes it even more incredible that a CAD1K Unicron is on the market.
