Don't know...the Dead's official store runs short of inventory all the time...I missed-out on the St Pat's shirts because they were never in-stock when I was on the site.  
 
FWIW, they currently have DP 31, 32, 33 & 34. I imagine if you call they'll give you an idea when to expect more stock. I bought the whole DP series in stages (i.e., sets of 5) when they became available in order to save a little money. I remember having to be patient as they were frequently out-of-stock.  
 
I'd also recommend the 1973 Winterland box set that just came out...you'll get a bonus disc if you get it now.
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin

Greg,
 
I spoke too soon, the rest of the DP's appeared today:

You might wanna give 'em a call anyway (I think they're in VA or MD) to see if you can get a package deal like I did on the last volumes of DP.
 
The Dead's commercial juggernaut works in strange and mysterious ways, Kemosabe!
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin

Thanks for the tip - I ordered the two Road Trip CDs (with bonus discs!) and Winterland - when I ordered it said Winterland was preordered, but it came right away so I didn't have to wait!

That's no fair! Maybe I put my order in the day it got there so they shipped it right out and now they're shipping the pre-orders?  
 
I hope it gets to you soon! The packaging is really cool!

There were two, actually. The one above is very nice, but isn't either of the two.

  This is the Winterland Set in question, for those that care...$100 beans but a worthwhile investment. Just think of the new Mercedes-Benz's and Dolce & Gabbana haute-couture you'll be buying Jerry heirs and the rest of the band's dependents, LOL!  Enjoy!  Kevin

Ahh yes ... Winterland ... I melted into the floor or soared through the rafters on many an occasion!  Great memories.
