I just noticed the addition of a 5th size of Hunqapillar. The 51 plops between the 48 and 54 initially offered when they were doing the pre-sale. When you select that size on the drop down menu, it tells you the 51 is $1600 while all others are $1500.
Add that to my confusion about the delivery that they received this week being a mix between Waterford Hunqas and Toyo Hunqas. So none of them are actually Taiwan Hunqas after all? But the Hunqa page still says Taiwan as country of origin. Golly gee, so much to wring one's hands over if one was in fact a wringer of hands.
