I found a <a href="http://www.doco.net/snow/strangesnow.html">shop in Tokyo</a> that was selling Bomber telemark and ski-board bindings, as well as TD2s.

The shop owner was raving to me about the great quality of the Bombers, comparing them to the other flimsy bindings he sold. He isn't selling TD2s until next season, and said the price would be about 60,000 to 70,000 yen (about $550 to $650).

He looked horrified when I told him that anybody could buy them for $269 over the net, but he recovered when he realised that the web site wasn't in Japanese, and therefore wasn't much of a threat to his business.
