Must be grey sets. As I just called Sigma this afternoon. They said that they only taking in the stock next month.

rickygck · 29th July 2005

What grey set mean?

n0d3 · 29th July 2005

Imported sets.

It means that the item is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, because the manufacturer's licensed or authorized agent or representative did not import that item into the Singapore and did not sell it to the retailer to sell it to you. They import the product directly from the overseas manufacturer or distributor, bypassing additional distribution levels. Many manufacturers and distributors therefore coined the negative sounding term, "grey market", for this perfectly legal money-saving activity, namely "direct import".
