This measure seems to be taken by other distributors, not only Hasbro.
Actually, it should be less expensive to get the figure at retail (Unicron is heavy as well), as they have to stock larger quantities than a individual. However, it may have to do with overall cost of living, market behavior, availability, etc.. I believe all Transformer products which will be sold in the western side of the world are first shipped to the USA and then to the other countries. However, I don't think it should cost you USD50 to ship a box from the States to the UK... I have heard a Matchbox car costs around GBP1 in the UK, which is also twice the price in America. This sounds more like an organized and legallized ripoff to me.
