I thought it was in red color just like the arc-10 !!!! btw, Sealman does gala sport have this racquet ? Not the limited edition package !!!

not sure about the racquet, but the case seems good for travelling. anyone know how much it's retailing for?
You can buy it from China, the rest of the places, I don't think they have it yet. I was told there's very limited quantity, only 2008 pieces world wide ?
Heard from Classic Sports that the Brave Sword 08 will cost more than S$100 and the Limited Edition will cost more than S$200. Not sure when will it arrive in Singapore.
What are the technology(s) used?... I can't seem to find any specifications on any Victor racquet. So far, I've tried my friend's Victor and it feels very comfortable. And I'm planning to get 1 or 2 the next time I travel to China.
If that's the actual price for the Brave Sword 08, then it is not too bad. A SW31/32/33 cost around S$150 (approx). I managed to find a web store in China that was selling the limited edition for RMB2000, which if you convert, is SGD418 ! As much as I like Victor and would like to get my hands on the limited edition, I don't think I will pay that kind of money. It is even more expensive than the AT700 Limited but then again, supposedly only 2008 pieces are made. I will probably get the Brave Sword 08, if the price disparity is too great.
Which Victor racquet did you try ? Here's a link to the techologies that Victor use http://www.victorsport.com/productlist_english.asp?id=206&class=1 And this is the latest Victor racquet map http://www.victorsport.com/productlist_english.asp?id=335&class=1 For the Brave sword, Victor put in their best technologies (according to their marketing pitch), it has super waves, slim shaft, aerodynamic frame (something new I think) and nanotec.
Thanks for the link. For the racquet I've tried. I believe it was the Artery TEC Ti95 Control... But I cannot recall, it has a light blue shaft and silver-ish and blue-ish frame.. And I've checked that many Victor racquets are blue...
What a coincidence ! I was just at the shop looking at it. It has a very nice metallic blue color. Actually I didn't see that many blue Victor racquet, in fact their racquet comes in all shades and colors. One color which they seem to like alot is yellow/gold, they use it on SW32, and some of the Super Nano racquets. Also, if one model has 2 different type (control and power), they tend to use blue for control and red for power. SW33 power = Red SW33 control = Blue Artery Tec Ti95 control = Blue Artery Tec Ti95 power = Red
