Mr. Lim of Artric Pacific Sports here is selling the JP version BAG802AI for $85. I think it is better to get the JP version just by paying a bit more.

He doesn't have to pay rent and he doesn't want to inflate the price and his profit margin. That is why a lot of people are his regular clients. Tony Gunawan even bought an AT700 1st gen from him before when he was here in Singapore.

ic.. but most of the importers here sells the 802AI at roughly 800 RMB.. I wonder why the price difference is so high. I find it amusing that 802AI is only 10 bucks more ex than 9826 in SG. I have to go to Artic sport the next time I go to SG! or even get my friend to buy it for me now

Thanks a lot for the info!

I understand the JP version are Made in Taiwan. I still kept the tags and checked mine and I think it wrote in one of them on the lower right corner 'Made in China' in Kanji Japanese. The China here could mean Taiwan and not PR China. Picture of the tags below.

A friend of mine just bought from Mr. Lim the bag yesterday and I was told that it was different from mine. The YY logo and Yonex wording of Mr. Lim's TW version does not glitter (subtle bling, bling) while as for mine the JP version you can see them in all over the wording and logo.

I am a bit confused now

Be very careful.
I have a friend who lives in Singapore and bought the so called "JP" version bag which turns out NOT JP at all. It is TW/SP version.

Original JP bag i.e BAG 802AI is retailed at around RMB800. Even Shuttle house retails at 11,500 Yen locally (RMB886.5)
So SGD85 is DEFINITELY NOT JP bag.
Like i said :

1) The material is different (water proof, thicker, the words Shines "Bling) etc.
2) Extra pocket at the outside comaprtment
3) Inner compartment at racket side got wire mesh extra pocket
4) The armpit contour type sling , non JP one is straight down liek school bag sling.
5) The original JP one can stand vertically unsupported. Non JP ones cannot.

Conclusion? Somebody is selling Non JP stuff as JP, or The seller himself is being "Conned" also.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE. SERIOUS. NO JOKE.

Arief, in that case you are better off buying from Sports Life then at $69.90

For Bags, etc
The JP ones are made in China, in YY plant and redistribute back to Japan for Japan market.

The SP/TW are made in Taiwan.
For rackets, high end ones are made in Japan. (whether it is SP, JP, TW, etc)
Middle and low ends are made in Taiwan And China.
