Mantic Terrain - Good Dungeon Furnishings For A Reasonable Price
The Mantic Terrain Crate models fit my needs almost perfectly - Inexpensive, durable, and easy to paint.
Some modes were bent during the process of removing the models from the molds - but this can be repaired by soaking the models in nearly boiling water for a minute or so, as the plastic goes back to its original shape.
Overall, I am very happy with this set,

Pathfinder (1st Edition) Chase Deck
A handy way to keep track of chases, both before and during combat.
Might have been a bit handier if there had been more alternate means to overcome some of the obstacle - but works very well if the GM treats them as recommendations and options, not as the only ways through the predicaments.
Overall, a good way to handle a common situation.

Bard's Gate - A City That Adventure Can Call Home.
Bard's Gate is quintessentially a fantasy RPG city setting - a base of operations, a home, and a source of adventures. I have been a fan of the Bard's Gate setting since it was released for D&D 3e - and the latest version only improves on an already excellent product.
Physically, the hard cover book is well made, and properly stitched so that it should endure long years of play.
The separate city map is colorful, and does a very good job of being clear and legible, while remaining attractive. Attractive enough to use as a poster, if you are so inclined.
The color illustrations of locations and characters throughout the book are excellent, showing off both with wonderful clarity - with my favorite being a scowling orc standing behind a smiling dwarf - and both looking at the viewer. Together they have a sense of menace that either alone would lack.
Descriptions of the locations, characters, and organizations that drive the setting are likewise very well done, as are the interactions between them - my wife is running a Bounty Board based campaign in the city, and can easily tie her adventures to the locations and organizations of the city - making them a part of the setting.
While I cannot call it my favorite city setting as a GM, as a player character it is the place that I would most like to visit and make my own. (As a GM, my favorite city is The Blight - also by Frog God Games, but while I love the Blight as a GM, it is not a place I would like to visit myself.And Bard's Gate has a much, much better map.)
Over all, it is a place that adventurers can call home, and that GM's can use as a goldmine of plots and adventure for years of play.
