Hmmm... I went to the B&H website searched on 70mm and the first two
results both pointed to the Alden loader at:
    http://www.bhphoto.com/photo/acc/accessories/bulk.html
not sure why it's not in the catalog.

To get started without the loader and all, all it'll cost you is the
initial roll of film... somewhere around $200, the back at whatever the
market will bear right now, and some footwork to find someone who will
process it for you.   Again, if you want the loader, it's about  $129.
Adorama lists the Jobo 5' 70mm reel for $29.95 (assuming you have the tank
etc...)   Next you'll be looking for cartridges to hold the film and
cannisters to hold the cartridges in a light-tight way....

Hey... this is photography... Several pounds of flesh, early and often!!! ;-)

Any time!
