Donald,

Thanks for updating the Consolidated Micronauts Wish List, but I wanted to ask if the list could be split into three categories? For example, one for World War I Micronauts, one for World War II Micronauts and one for Modern Micronauts.

I'm not sure if the GHQ folks look at this suggestions list for possible new models as all eras together or if they would likely look for let's say two new WWI models and two new WWII models and two new Modern naval models?

I would hope that GHQ would not elect to combine all three lines of Micronauts into one list for deciding the models to create, but rather to produce a few models from each of the three lines.

Just a thought. I really don't have any idea of how GHQ decides how many of each Micronauts line to produce (of new models) in any given year.

Thanks!
Scott

It's an interesting idea, Scott, but I'm going to stick with my existing system. I've got everything in a single XL file, including an era classification, and don't want to expend the effort to split it into three separate files.
From what I've seen the past few years, GHQ has been fairly consistent with about a dozen new 1/2400 Micronauts each year, regardless of the era.

Don,

I completely understand and "many thanks" for your efforts to maintain the Consolidated Micronauts Wish List.

I sure hope GHQ references this list when they consider new models to develop for the 1:2400 scale Micronauts line.

Don,

More votes for WWII Battleship Fuso!

She was present in the last battleship versus battleship engagement in world history. She really needs to be produced for anyone wanting to recreate the Battle of Surigao Strait (October 24-25, 1944).

I hope GHQ will add this ship to their list of 2009-2010 WWII Micronauts to be produced!

As I'm into collecting the Chinese PLA (RC) line, just to add my votes for new GHQ Micronauts:

Type 99 ACV
Type 99 MBT (the one GHQ offer is just the prototype Type 90II, for export and limited production)
Type 96 MBT (low end version of Type 99 MBT, > 1500 produced)
ZLC2000 IFV
ZBD97 IFV
WZ752 Armoured Medical Evacuation Vehicle
PTL02 Wheeled Tank Destroyer
PLZ05 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer
PHL03 300mm Multiple Launch Rocket

J10 Fighter
Zhi-9W Attack Helicopter
Zhi-9 Utility Helicopter

Wouldn't hesitate to place my order if any of the above is available.

My list is pretty short. I think GHQ offers a real good selection as is , and I was particularly thrilled last year to see HMAS Canberra and IJN Hiei come out...really makes it easier to do a lot of the Solomon Is scenarios. THANX GHQ!
Now on to my list:

USS LANGLEY As she was when sunk early in the war.

UK O CLASS DESTROYERS

Germany RAIDERS

Any MERCHANT SHIPS/TANKERS/AUXILIARIES Especially for Japan
