I just found that you can buy the new Leica Trinovid HD binoculars
at Walmart in the US.

This will get Leica into more hands, and sounds like a good idea.

It looks like the new mid-level model will be the only one available there.

As an on-line purchase or something you will find in the store? I find this hard to believe as I have only seen inexpensive optics at my local Walmarts.

Wow I hate to hear that... It makes me think the new Trinovid HD isn't what it should be. IMO that would like devalue the Leica name and in the end result...quality. There is no free lunch.

There's some very high end stuff u can get on-line from Wal-Mart in numerous industries, so that wouldn't worry me so much. If they show up in the store, de-value to the brand would be to put it mildly.

There was a time when Costco would sell watches online, but nothing cheaper than a $14,000 Bréguet.
