Remember, Tamiya exports to the US. Of course it is going to be cheaper for us to buy a domestic product rather than an import.
Try buying directly from Japan if you want a better price. It will be cheaper than having to pay those extra bureaucratic expenses.
NEWS FLASH:
Associated STUFF is not made in the U.S>
Although,
I do have more Tamiya than Associated in my garage! I just look the other way when I pay the bill!
