Aramis, Got my SP 9229 Blue Black version (9 rackets = 3 compartments). Compare to EX version, the SP version new 2012 bag seems to look more crumple & worse than those old bag 2010-2011. In MY, only the SP 9226 & 9229 (Red Black & Blue Black) version RM139.90/149.90 & London 2012 Gold 9226EL & 9231WEL bags RM239.90/RM269.90 available for sale. So far the 9226EX red/white not in yet. SP 2 compartment increase RM10 from RM129.90 to RM139.90. yet less one sling pad & one compt. might as well buy the 3 compart w additional RM10. The SP Red black doesnt look nice & not used by pro players at all. So better go for blue black.
That is the Lee Chong Wei Voltric Z-Force signature edition. JP version available for order from Japan. SP and EX version probably soon after in Sunrise distribution region.
Letting go my bag9226ex - blue/black as new! Please pm me if interested. Posting a "Buy & Sell" thread soon.
New bags are still not here yet. The 'new' items is the yellow version of the pink pro bag I posted in earlier posts and some shoe bags. I bought the last piece of the smallest JP bag BAG1098 or rather a pouch (trinket pouch) RRP JPY1,000. New bags arrival will be the 6 and 9 racquets version (badminton and tennis) of those pro bags seen by players using them lately for badminton (Korea & Malaysia Open) and tennis (Australia Open). The SUNR bags are now made in Cambodia as I suspect the labour costs there are more competitive. Chinese labour costs are on the rise and general workmanship and quality is not much better than South-East Asia labour force. Sunrise have also been steadily promoting Yonex in Cambodia the last couple of years. The next big manufacturing base will be Burma as the country is opening up. I won't be surprise to see 'Made in Burma' Yonex products in the future.
