Also, there might be a few copies left after GenCon. I believe we took the last dozen or so with us to GenCon, and if they don't sell out there, we will get them back in stock in early September when we reinventory our GenCon stuff. So all might not be lost, but we won't have many left if any are left after GenCon.

I just started my subscription a month ago. I just found out that these sets expire - VERY BIG BUMMER! I am buying them as I need them for a campaign. No way I can grab all the ones I want all at one time.
Every now and then, we publish a list of stuff that's getting close to out-of-print status; we just did that last week here. Prioritizing the ones on that list should help you get the ones you want.
Wish these sets were double sided as well - lots of wasted potential.
Many of these sets are designed with the notion that folks might want to use a few different locations at the same time, and it would be most unfortunate if two locations you wanted to use simultaneously just happened to be printed on opposite sides of the same tile.
Also, if each set had the same number of tiles, but they were printed on both sides, that would increase both the art costs and the printing costs, which would mean an increase in the cost to you as well. Probably by a few bucks, at least.
Once a product expires - can you sell a digital version? It would keep the product alive for players that need them, reduce the purchase cost, and zero inventory.
We've talked about it now and then—it's not in the cards right now, but we won't rule it out for the future.

Thank you for the very quick reply.
1) I would defenitly suggest digital versions when the physical ones expires.
2) I would defenitly suggest double sides - still adds versitily with only a slight increase in cost.
3) I usually scan these sets and print them for making larger play mats for specific encounter; such as a road through a jungle passing two statues and ending at three pyramids. As such, two different terrain pieces on either side really is not much of a hinderance.
4) Double sided also allows your designers to explore the setting more.
5) I also tend to use a larger play mat with one or two of your Map Pack cards laid on top of it for added affect. It would be nice if you could tie the Map Packs and Battle Mats together for some of the sets.
6) Over all though your products are just awesome and I like them very much! Keep up the great job. :-)

We've done this a few times in the past—Map Pack: Waterfront, Map Pack: Boats & Ships, and Flip-Mat: Waterfront Tavern all combine nicely—and we'll do it more in the future. Coming up soon, Flip Mat: City Streets is an overhead view of a group of buildings, and Map Pack: Shops gives you tiles you can pop on top to show their interiors.
