Well I ordered a new set of the Minox 10×52 HG binoculars from:

Appearantly these are the last of a the HG series that was made in Japan from a German design. I expect great glass and quality still. The new HG series binoculars that are made in Germany are of course higher in price. I look for bargains and with a lifetime warranty and satisfaction garuntee I know I will be extremely happy.
Since this site had such good prices I also bought a new rangefinder, check out the screaming deal on the Leica CRF 900:
