I think nick b is probably right in his interpretation of Rivs BLUG typo.  
It's not clear to me whether the HHH Tandem frames needed to be included at 
all.  The HHH tandem is $1800, and they have just a few in stock.  There's 
no plan to do another run, and the 'costs' of the ones in stock aren't 
changing.  So, they will either stay at $1800, or they will go up just 
because that's the price they should have been in the first place.  It's 
hard to say.  It's a smart move to buy sooner rather than later, at any 
rate.  

This does feed into the pretty-darn-good resale value of Rivendells in 
general.  Since Rivendell doesn't have 'model years', you could have a 10 
year old Atlantis that you bought for $1500.  Sell it as a used frame and 
fork for $1000, and it'll get snapped up in minutes.  You got a 10 year 
rental of an Atlantis for $500, and your buyer feels like they won the 
lottery.  It's pretty great for that situation.  It's not so great for 
somebody who knee-jerk buys a new Rivendell and then two months later 
decides s/he doesn't want it.  That seller wants 80% of retail, and few 
people want to buy used at that price.
