I'm interested aswell. If its any good or has any sort of possible potential for ageing, I was going to pick up an armful of the yellow mark ones (just because my fav color is yellow)

Yeah, I too am interested. Looks like someone will have to make the first move. . . .
Oh, and Poly looks like you wont be able to pick up alot of the yellows as there is only 1 left.

Why are there so many different colors and classes?
They look like the discus shape made with metallic molds rather than regular cakes.

dont know about the colors but they are not normal cakes, they're iron cakes.

Are all the iron cakes discus shaped? I believe that some regularly shaped cakes are also compressed hydraulically, but maybe not in iron forms.

If you put the object in you cart, you can type in quantity numbers and press recalculate to see how many are left. When there are not enough left in stock to satisfy your order a red warning bar will appear and tell you.

Tong time!
I still don't have a tong of anything.
Is that a good cake? I don't remember seeing a review of it anywhere.

For the price its a great cake, sorry I haven't gotten a review of it up yet, too lazy, hehe. Next week when I get the tong I'll post pics of it and do a detailed review of it with pics. Good stuff, just couldent pass it up for the price, especially since I dont have to wait for China shipping.

I bought the red label tie bing, but I don't picture myself opening it for quite some time. It's very flat and Xiaguan-like in compression. (I enjoy the fact that the wrapper isn't sealed- bad for authenticity, perhaps, but great for taking a peak. I hate having to rip open the wrapper.) The absence of the reverse side "dimple" is strange. I figured if I didn't like the tea, I could always use it to fashion a replica of Oddjob's hat.
Shogun- did you sample that CNNP Bulang? (Is it the one that goes for a whopping eight semolians?) I'm not kidding when I say that a bing
is a sample, but even I would try something before investing in a tong.
How was it?
