If you check out the website of the guy who created it, you'll find updates up to DT6, I believe.
Also, in general, if you're planning on using the Dungeon Tiles regularly, I'd suggest grabbing at least two copies of DT4: Ruins of the Wild, DT5: Lost Caverns of the Underdark, and DT6: Dire Tombs, as those are the least compatible (color/theme wise) with the other sets.

DT1 doesn't have anything super special in it. IT is pretty bland actually. WHich might be good if that is what you want. Personally I wished I'd kept a couple of sets intact so i could cash in on the eBay frenzy over them.

I almost wonder if you couldn't have just gotten 3 more sets of in-print tiles and gotten as many generic ones. After all, even the themed sets have a good number of generic tiles.
I kinda wish WotC would have done them differently, though it's hard to complain about a bunch of great quality tiles for $10. But something like a core set, always in print, with just rooms and hallways, for $20, and then themed sets where everything sticks to the theme for $10. That would be pretty nice.

BTW, I've picked up a few of these recently, myself -- DT4, 5, 6, and 7. I noticed that in the Video Podcast Dave Noonan had marked on his. Is there a marking pen that would work well and rub off of these? I tried standard Vis-a-Vis water markers, with a small test mark, and it did mostly wipe off but left an after-effect on the surface. So I won't be marking on mine any time soon 
but if there is a brand that doesn't stay on these I'd love to know about it.

Probably, but I still think it was worth it, as there are a number of tiles in there (not just empty ones), which you otherwise do not have. And even thrice the price isn't that much, unless you have to buy it multiple times, really. Besides, having all the sets bar one feels so incomplete.
Yep, that would have been great... maybe even a few $10 Core sets and then a number of specialized sets.

Tiles for KoS
My first post!
Well, i'm new with D&D (and RPG in general) and i'm planning to DM Hall of the Kobolds and KoS.
My hope was that the new line of tiles will be useful for my games, but since DU1: Against the giants, as the name indicate, is suited for big creatures, it will be not too helpful.
Would you people recommend me the name of a Dungeon Tiles that will be useful in my first game with those adventures?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the board, Malkov.
I'd recommend you get a map before you get tiles. Steel Sqwire has some great ones called flip-mats which are cheap, rugged, and eminently portable (they fold flat, compared to more traditional vinyl mats which must be rolled up). Oh, and did I mention they're cheap?
A good map will serve you well for many, many encounters. Dungeon tiles are nice, but they really only suit a particular kind of encounter (i.e. dungeons!)

I'm actually pretty surprised DT1 wasn't reprinted for the release of 4E. I dunno if a reprinting can be slotted in to WotC's release schedule, but if so they'd sell a ton of them.
My issue with Dungeon Tiles (and it can't be that huge of one, since I have two of each set) is that it really takes quite a bit of planning to use them effectively, at least in all but the simplest layouts. There's a minor issue with storage, once you hit a critical mass, which is semi-related.
