How is "present juncture" specific ? since 'the' is used here.

JUNCTURE is being specified by the word "present" so definite article must be there before present.

'THE' is used with the particular point in time or with things which are specific.
For example: "I saw the north pole Star in the sky".
We have only 1 sky i.e. the particular thing, here in the sentence juncture means a particular point in time so we use 'THE' as a article here.

Would be a costly toy".

Present time is a specific time. That's why this should be followed by 'the'.
