As far as I know, the base bag is BAG912PR (http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5179/bag912prb.jpg). It will be white, with gold letters with a small AE logo on the side with a bigger England flag (St. George's Cross)
I think this bag is quite small :eek:, I would prefer a bigger one

pleas post a link to the Arcsaber 100 limited, or photos.

OK, that is an Arc 7............

Thanks for the update. Had seen the banana bag already but didn't know it was going to be an Arc7. Have to say it's all rubbish except the junior t-shirt. Looks like a range Yonex Sunrise would come up with :rolleyes:. The bag doesn't even appear to be a JP version ... Oh well no need to spend anything then :cool:.

True, I was hoping that it is going to be the Arc10. Honestly, I think the white England bag looks cool, but it is just way too large for me.

The Arc 100 ltd is similar to Acr 7. Nothing good from Yonex then unless they have some other new high end racket soon. :(

:D Too large? Actually I was planning to buy the bag but now that is (/appears) just a regular 7926 instead of 912PR I don't think I will. Also the All England logo just looks out of place there ... maybe in all gold it wouldn't stand out so much.

how/where can i get the bag?? aside from going to the event... which i might... but still... is there a place i can purchase online?

A few of us already knew about the racket's details but cannot disclose the info as per NDA.

Yes there is a JP version of both the racket and Bag because what is shown there is an international version of the items, not the JP.

Yeah.. luckily there is a JP version of the bag..

From Yonex JP website...

Bag & T-shirts r different. I already reserve the JP version at shuttle-house

wondering when it will be available in Malaysia and what price

Is it available in Australia yet? Does anyone know? If so please let me know

is the jp version better quality??
and @sendspacemax

the english website for shuttlehouse is really hard to navigate...

@b.leung
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 :

Yeah, can i know what's so special in that LIMITED edition??
just the word LIMITED?:p

It has awesome paint job =P

Japanese version.

: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 :o. Then again I could just order two of the ultimate one ...

any way i can just get the arcsaber bag?
hahaha
i own an arc10, and i wanna upgrade the bag... ehheeh

Why did they copy an Arc 7?

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.

anyone know where I can order the jp version of the bag??
i've scoured all over shuttle-house
and i've googled the terms...

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

Arc100 looks cool. prob gonna be hecka expensive. and its plays like the Arc7..soo..ehh. No thanks.:D:D

Arc100, so good! must buy :D

@matt
well, i went on the catalog, bags section, limited edition section; can't find the item
am i supposed to order with the "order sheet" and write in BAG-LTD in product name?

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.

anywhere is selling the arc100 yet? ^^

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 http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif. 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".

Nice marketing from Yonex

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

thanks guys, i got a friend of mine to contact MBS, and i placed an order with shuttle house in case... i hope i can get the bag... *fingers crossed

Do you need to pay in advance to reserve one in Shuttle-House? I want to order the shirt but pay for it when the stock is available for shipping in Feburary so that it could be shipped with other items.

will the arc100 be released as a SP version?

Too late, pre-order was closed since November.

Should be. CD is comming soon.

oh so like the at700 ltd it's gonna be another new paint version...

CD 700 ltd were fairly cheap (relatively to the regular 700) compared to elsewhere, hope it'll be the same with that one =)

Stick with the CD! :D We're Canadians!

I guess I have to wait till Canada gets the bag to buy it... Kinda cheezed that I can't get the jp version

but the bag is so British =P

Will the bag come in a 9 pcs version

Any updates to its availability in Canada??
I would seriously love to own this bag

It will be in Canada, but it won't be the JP version which would be the real deal!

CD versions wont even have a ltd serials lol

but if u buy to play... who cares =P

I dunno if I would see the "serials" anyways lol!

The bag is not a JP version. Just a normal quality bag to commemorate the 100th Years of AE. ONLY in 6 racket version.

Anyone willing to sell me their jp version??
Alternatively, anyone know where to purchase the cd version??

From a Yonex Authorized Dealer of course.

There is some doubt because the model numbers would be essentially the same, in this case they are slightly different.

these t-shirts look good!

I ordered the whole package deal, but the BG66 is a running joke between me and the store owner as he would say, how will you know it's a BG66Ltd when it's on the racket, the only difference would be the packaging of the strings, unless they also print ltd on the string, which I doubt....

If you pre stretch the string you will see LIMITED instead LTD... If you don't get the joke, think of the tatoo on the penis joke...

Hahahahaha.... it makes sense...

Where can i get the racket? I really like it even though it is an Arc 7:(

When will the racket be available.

When will the racket be available.

Time frame should be around March when the England Open happends.

To any owners of the bag in Canada, did you guys buy the bag online(If so, where and how much)? Is it suggested to do so or wait for it to be released in local stores? As i am interested in owning one :D

Any suggestions/ideas would be appreicated, thanks!

the bag is basically a 2010 tournament basic series with a different colour and 50% more expensive.

marketing wonders of yonex.

True... but then again, everyone buys on the basis of cosmetic appearance... I mean who wants an ugly bag or anything??? And if it's "Ltd" as well... sign me up!!

It's funny because I have 4 x 6 racket bags and 1 x 9 racket bag and my wife always asks me... why do you need so many? You can only use one at a time... So I ask her, why do you need so many purses.... you can only use one at a time AND they cost 5 -10 times what my badminton bag costs and can only hold 1/100 of the stuff.

lol!! I'm sure there will be arguments now :D !! :eek:

good..want to see the pictures.

I have bought one already.Came with the white bag package.Imo,feels like a7.Not strung yet though.

whoever purchases any of these 100th anniversary all england goodies and plans on reaping it for some moentary fortune in the future, better not lose or destroy or damage them. if i were to purchase on e of these,i'd keep it in a very safe place.i think these are some of those rare badminton items which will at least keep their value, if not increase them. good luck!

:D :p :D :p :D Spot on there druss!
The "War" between MEN and WOMEN goes on forever ...and can be funny at times.
So, next time you have more excuses at getting "Matching" (sounds familiar this magic word?) clothing, pants and shoes for each racket you have. E.g Matching yellow/Red top + Pants + shoes if you use Arc Z , and so on. Why? Because the wives, girlfriends have matching items for their clothes too.

kekekekekekekeke ;) (Hope your wife doesn't see this post)

Druss and wife may have those last few words...! :D lol

what is the difference between normal bg66 and bg66 ltd?

Druss and wife may have those last few words...! :D lol

Nah, my wife is pretty cool. I don't bug her too much about her clothes and she doesn't bug me about my hobbies. Relatively speaking, my badminton stuff is cheap. I could probably buy 15 high end rackets for the cost of my golf clubs....

what is the difference between normal bg66 and bg66 ltd?

Nothing besides the package from what I understand.

just packaging difference......... which is disappointing... a lil....

There is no difference since it is the same string. You're just paying for the package with pro players on it. Kind of lame from what lots of people say.

Sorry http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif:(:(:(:(:(:crying:

So there is no special edition shoe....

Am I right in thinking that it's been at least a year since the SHB101 came out?

Isn't it about time for a new top of the range shoe? I thought Yonex usually debut new products at the All England.

yea, isn't the 8dx new?

Oh yes!! I got this today!

I got confused for a sec. Yeah it's blanked out.

hahaha, yes, i missed that black bar...
it would've been cooler if they made it like the at700ltd with the /9999 serials
btw, matt, do you have it strung?
you gonna use it or keep it in the collection?

Here my AE 100th stuff is. The racket is JP and its codes are as normal.
