That's quite a list as I am a Nappy man I can only comment on the sets for Napoleonic times. we started off well with Brunswick artillery witch I too would like to see & we could do with more Belgians & Dutch troops as well I also would like to see the command sets come to fruition. Regarding the highlanders & British infantry they have in my opinion been done to death by a lot of manufacturers leaving maybe space for a dedicated firing line for each set only. The two cavalry sets mentioned have already also been done well by others & I would not be interested in purchasing any more new sets to replace them. There is I believe a place for another set of British rifles the Italeri set being too large & the only other set by revell being hard to find these days & I would welcome some more new Austrian sets of any description but mainly some new cavalry maybe lancers.

French cuirassiers, British Lifeguards, and others have been very well done by other manufactors, some are currently OOP but still easily avaiable on ebay and retailers, so, at this point, there is no justification for Hat to direct their efforts there.
Highlanders just received a couple very nice kits from HaT, who have improved their standard of sculpting a lot on their recent sets, so again, Hat would be treading on a beaten path.
Napoleonic command sets, representing the characters of the period would be awesome. HaT have done them, most of them look great, even in their older sculpting style, but those sets are almost impossible to find nowadays.

Just a little list then...
All the SYW and Jacobite stuff I'll always be interested in. And the 30 year war stuff may be a good shout, the Revell sets of these were very good but are difficult to get hold of now. It's a shame Redbox stopped where they did with their Jacobite themed sets, they had made a great start.

1. Brunswick artillery, yes I'd buy them, definitely. 2. Napoleonic highlanders. The GREATEST set HaT never made! www.hat.com/PollHighlander.htmlHaT told us they would not make this set due to all of the other sets on the market. Which was a disappointment because as far as I was concerned the other sets were either unavailable or unacceptable. So I converted from the Italeri reissue of the old ESCI set to get the figures I wanted. Then, of course, I managed to get my hands on the previously unavailable sets (just because I don't need them now) and another company is making more, haven't seen these in the local shop yet but if I do I'll buy some. If HaT changed their mind and made this set I'd definately buy it but I don't really need it, I'm happy to stick with my dodgy MacNipntucs. 3&4. I'll take any British infantry and command figures in Belgic shakos. 5. I don't think personality sets are really HaT's thing but I'd be happy for them to prove me wrong. I love personality figures, I'm pleased to say that three other manufacturers have provided me with mounted figures for Wellington, DeLancey and Major Henry Percy with his purple handkerchief purse. For Blucher, Gneisenau, Bulow and potentially Lutzow. For Orange, Brunswick, Uxbridge, Hill and Picton. And for Napoleon, Ney, Grouchy and a whole lot of other French Marshals and Generals. I had to convert some of these from dismounted figures. But a lot of these figures are getting hard to find, and there's some I can't get ($70 on E-Bay is a bit much for a set of plastic figures) so what will people new to the hobby do for them. Also I'd like figures for Prince Bernhard, Perponcher, Bylandt and Constant Rebeque. 38-41. I'll take figures for the Jacobite Rebellion from whoever wants to make them. We definitely need cavalry artillery and maybe some French infantry. Also I'd love to have personality figures of Cumberland and Cherlie. I've got Lord George and if I order a HaT box of Robin Hood figures that should give me Colonel Anne but any other personality figs would be gratefully accepted. It's a shame Redbox stopped where they did with their Jacobite themed sets, they had made a great start. Haron from Redbox posts on a couple of other forums, he said he plans to do cavalry and artillery at some time in the future but has lots of other things on the to do list. I got some unsatisfactory artillery from Imex and Unsatisfactory dragoons from Zvezda. I'm thinking Revell's Dragoons and 7yw artillery (if I can get any) might be better. I'll buy British dragoons and artillery from whoever makes them first and the rag tag fill ins can go to the jacobites. Unless someone makes Jacobite cavalry and artillery, in which case I'll buy those instead.
