The Walmart listing appears to be a "marketplace" listing, and is apparently shipped from Japan. Presumably these cost a bit less in Japan, since shipping isn't an issue. Perhaps one of our fellow HNers who lives there can enlighten us?

Don't live in JP but was looking to bring one back a few years ago, top of line Zojirushi _were_ ~$1000 USD, but with Yen depreciation are around $800 now. +200-300 for delivery/fees and 1100 looks around right.
