    if u are referring to the Yonex JP Badminton Bag, yeah it is way better than SP Badminton bag in terms of material that is used, it is more solid than SP.. you get what you pay.

    you might try to send e-mail about your inquiries to :

    :D Curse you! I already bumped into my ultimate bag earlier in the week but now I might have to order this one as well (if it hasn't sold out already?). On the bright note: I'll be good for the next 10-15-20 years in the bag department :eek:. Then again I could just order two of the ultimate one ...

    I reckon that this 'Limited edition' is not so limited afterall. I think one of the reasons that they are using the Arc 7 is because they want to keep the 10 and the Z-slash as the top rackets, while clearing up the Arc 7 stock. Also, they may actually make a higher margin by selling a less top spec racket as a limited livery version.

    Nope, that's not tue. Arc 7 is part of the part of the high-end racket and will stay.

    Are you sure you looked?

    Geez there are allot of critics here.

    The whole thing except for the Jr. T Shirt is rubbish???

    Give your head a shake! It's a limited edition product for the 100th Anniversary of the biggest tournament in Badminton. It's not supposed to be a new technology or a step up from anything in the line. A limited edition product is about the reasion it's being offered and only has life as long as the reason exists so once the tournament is done that's going to be pretty much it. The racket is a good racket that is proven. If they came out with a product that was new what would they call it 6 months from now or next year?

    This product offering honours the tournament and the history of the game. If you can't be there at least you can purchase a cool bag and a shirt or a different paint job on the Arc 7. Finally Yonex did the right thing and told you the racket was basically an Arc 7 in the ad. If they tried to deceive anybody it would be all that "Evil Empire" stuff again.

    That's because you can't order the BAG-LTD because you're passed the reserve date, so the entries have been removed. This also applies to other shops as well.

    Since "alot of critics" only seems to apply to my post ... yes RUBBISH. A special packaging for BG66 :rolleyes: WOW, what a way to honour the greatest tournement around! *drool* Should I hang on to it for the next 100 years? Alot of thought has been put in the t-shirts as well [​IMG]. The Thomas/Uber Cup limited edition was a MP99. The Beijing one AT700 probably only because of LD and you can still get them for less than $150. I can certainly understand the choice for Arc7 (couldn't name 5 ladies using the 10 on tour). I certainly never mentioned new technology as a prerequisite for a limited edition but why not the Arc10. And if you're supposed to store them to collect, might as well have painted over and Arc5 or Z-Slash to have the latest thing. Yet they had to pick the oldest one in the range ...
    The banana bag looks like a DIY heat transfer job as do the t-shirts. Why not an all-white retro outfit with an embroidered 100th logo in place of the "YY" and one of those velvet JP sacks with some more emroidery :p?
    The bag I like except for it not being the better JP version and the AE 100th logo stuffed in the corner like it was the last place available in the end (and who knows what the other side looks like).
    Since I have none of the previous limited models I personally don't feel that "need to add it to my collection of ltd's".

    Yes you are right. But on some special arrangement you can still get it.
