I am officially hooked on this product.
It needs its own subscriprtion class. You need to release these every month alongside of the AP product if not the standa alone adventure as well.
Regarding the schedule, we're not the publisher—it's a licensed product, and we allow the licensee to design their own product schedule (for the most part). So while we'd love to have a monthly AP-themed release, it may not be feasible for them.
Now, what benefits would you expect out of a PDF subscription? Normally our benefits involve free PDFs (which doesn't make sense here) or discounts (and this product line is already pretty cheap).

If this DOES become a regular (or semi regular) thing, I would definitely subscribe, just to get these on a regular schedule.
And Vic, we're gamers. We'll buy anything if we get a PDF for free. But as a Sales Manager as part of my day job, I like the pitch: get 10% off the PDF AND a free PDF!
The benefit I could see is not having the "Oh *censored*! How'd I miss that?" moments when I discover a new one's been released a good while after it came out.
A subscription would be a handy convenience to me, but given the price point and irregularity of the release schedule, not to mention the fact that it's a third party product, I'm not sure it'd be worth the effort it might take to set things up on the server side. :-/ It's not as if I don't make a point of checking the sales page every few weeks or so.

Yes a Mini sub would be great if it was feasable. Having a Paper mini set to go along with the modules and adventure paths would be great. I would also love to see flip-mat bundles with the AP and modules also, kind of like the dungeon flip-mat for 'Crypt of The Everflame'.

Have you tried the "New Products in Pathfinder Paper Minis" RSS Feed? (We have those for every section of the store...)

I did no know that.
Very cool.
Subscribed now.

I'll give it a go. I haven't bothered using RSS feeds before, so it'll be interesting to see if I actually notice the updates. If I do, it'll ensure I spot new stuff quick, if not, well it doesn't seem to take more than a few weeks for me to notice the new ones anyway.

Speaking of paper minis updates, the last of RotR#2 minis were finished today. Now I have to do a cover...Any idea when this set will be out? I just started a Rise of the Runelords campaign, and my players *loved* the Goblin minis! We can't wait for the next set!
Sorry, i do not know. I hope it will be soon.

Vic,
I wouldn't expect a discount on these. However, I'd be willing to commit to buying them regularly so your company and its partners could effectively forecast base consumption.
I'd be fine with no discount, and some intangible benefit like, "sneak peaks" of the upcoming minis or something like that.
At its core, however, I will commit to purchase these long term if this helps the stabilization of the production schedule.
