As far as I've seen, its pretty much as Robert said, its down to the cost of production and that the moulds being silicone or latex rubber don't last for more than 20 or so castings, then a new mould has to be made from the master.
Thats the same for all resin producers though.
One area where they seem to be a better producer is that they seem to vacume de-gas their resin before using it, it means there are few imperfections or bubbles in the finished model.
Having built lots of resin models, they have better quality than many others, maybe they know this and charge accordingly, but who knows.
What they have started doing is producing multi media kits, I've seen several new baneblade kits and the vulture gunship kit have dropped in price slightly because they used plastic parts from the baneblade and valkarie kits.
All in all though, compared with other companies, making other genre's of resin models, their prices are pretty much in the middle ground.
