Yes you can buy a figure and have it sent to you from America for less than picking it up locally, but that doesn't mean the local price isn't fair when you consider the economic factors.
Actually it is unfair pricing... because it isn't local factors making the toys so expensive here (like other items that are more expensive here).

The toys come into the country and sold to retailers at twice the price BEFORE local factors come into play (retailers, labour, taxes), so that Hasbro America gets their commission, which is more than they make per unit on items sold in America.
