I think the biggest reason for this is that, while the Rattler may be smaller than the A-10, the Rattler probably also costs more to make. Those moving wings and the engine covers and battle damaged parts and all the other extra parts make for a lot of extra molds than say the 6 the A-10 may have (I don't know exactly how many molds are needed to make the A-10 but I'm assuming there are 6 main parts to make it. 2 windows, 2 halves of the main fuselage, 1 wing, 1 tail fin section)
I know my math is off but the basic idea is solid, there's more moving and detachable parts on the Rattler than the A-10 so that makes the price go up. If the Rattler was the same scale as the A-10, it would probably be over the $30 mark |

Never saw the Starscream, Ravage, nor Rumble Wal-Mart exclusives at retail. Had to resort to eBay.
But I have found all the Target exclsuives, except for the Conquest. So screw Wal-mart ... |

You know, the Alternator Exclusives didn't make it to the local Wal-Mart until well after their release. At which point they had about ten of each for maybe a month or two before they finally got picked up. The MP Starscream, I only saw once, well away from the other TF figures, top shelf on an endcap. Two of them I bought, the other I handed over to a guy who seem as excited if not more so than I was at seeing it.
