So, there's a bunch of datacard sets now listed as "Last Chance to Buy". 
The complete listing is: 
Raven Guard 
White Scars 
Farsight Enclaves 
Khorne Daemonkin 
Harlequin 
Imperial Knights(No Longer Available) 
Cadians 
Skitarii 
Cult Mechanicus 
Space Marines 
Craftworld Eldar(No Longer Available) 
Dark Angels 

Out of all of those, you have three sets which came bundled with psychic powers as part of them(Harlequin, Craftworld Eldar, and Dark Angels). 
You have another four sets(Raven Guard, White Scars, Farsight Enclaves, and Cadians) with Warlord traits. 
Space Marines detailed Chapter Tactics and Combat Doctrines with their cards, Daemonkin did the "Blood for the Blood God!" rewards, Knights did the Heirlooms of the Knightly Houses, and Skitarii did the Doctrina Imperatives while Cult Mechanicus did the Canticles of the Omnissiah. 

Deathwatch and Genestealer Cults are, currently, the only two sets of cards not marked as "While Stocks Last" on the US webstore. 

There is now rumor flying around that this means datacards are going away with the new edition
