Does anybody think the new Union Force MC bindings are worth 399.99?

I wouldn't. I wouldn't pay over 250 for bindings.

and people say burton is overpriced. it's just a binding. and there are better ones out there that do the same job, if not better, for far less.

They claim it is the strongest lightest binding ever made

What he said. Unless you have a the cake to blow I guess, to each its own.

I got a pair last year for 25% off. I had the money to blow and figured I would give them a try. They are rediculous light. The finish has started to chip off but that doesn't impact anything. If I could get the same deal I would probably get them again.

I would like a pair, but not for $400. Wait for the end of season sales - I am.

They are very light, extremely well made, and well designed. What I really like about them is that every piece of hardware on them is an allen head bolt. I replaced the phillips bolts that attach the binding to the board with titanium hex head so now I only need to carry a single allen wrench for everything on my rig. Sure they're pricey but if you've got the cash.... I find them to be much nicer than my Burton C60's which if I remember correctly were about the same price. Good luck finding a deal, I think they sell out pretty quickly.

Yeah, I would think end of year would be hard to find these. I don't know if they are limited production or not but I looked around the end of last year and they were pretty much gone.
