The French Indochina conflict, 1946-54. You could have French Foreign Legion, French colonial troops, Vietnamese army regulars and guerillas, for starters.
" ... But I would also like to see another set of British infantry suitable for 1898-1901 done using the current sculptors and production team, the originals being a little flat around the head and helmet and lacking enough detail."
Totally agree (British 1898-1901 by current sculpting standards)
I gotta go with all conflicts for British & French colonial 1800s! I want me some adversaries! What we have now is crap!
Airfix Arabs
ESCI Muslims
A few camel riders sets from HAT
A couple Madists sets

That is about it! It was such a cool & colorful period that is so desperately under represented! We have lots of nice British Colonial sets & a couple of FFL that can easily be fleshed out, but their adversaries are seriously lacking! Seems a lot of people feel the same, but are being a little short sighted. I want it all!
What I'd like most is a completion of the Jacobite rebellion range but as far as uncovered theatres go how about Napoleonic Ottomans or Wellesley's Indian campaigns. Also Napoleonic Royal Navy ship's boats and oarsmen.
A lot of Colonial requests here, a set of British/ European civilians in the colonies might interest me.
Re. Dave's suggestion for the Spanish American war, maybe, I don't know. For some reason I was quite drawn to this theme when I saw Juan Carlos's conversions on another site. If the set contained a recognisable figure of Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan Hill, I might buy it. If the set had a bonus figure of Teddy Brewster charging up the stairs in "Arsenic and Old Lace" I'd be first in the queue to buy it.
Anything post WW2. French Indochina would be a great start, but also Korean War winter figures (USMC, Chinese, Commonwealth), Arab Israeli Wars, Iran Iraq, African Bush Wars, NATO WARPAC, etc...
This is a huge gap. We have all the tanks, planes, helos, vehicles, but no figures!!!
Feudal Japan, Koreans to go with them, modern figures would be a good idea (tho I have most of them set with having the Esci WARPAC set three times, plus Esci and Ultima Ratio SPECNAZ as well), HYW French, Mounted Sergeants, mercenaries, foot knights, mounted knights, Irish, Scots, Napoleonic french mounted Chasseurs, Spanish Cavalry, Spanis Artillery, WW1 late war British infantry, WW1 late war German infantry, WW2 late war commandos in berets, American War of Independence, etc. etc...
I may be an outlyer here, but I'd really like a series of proper Boxer Rebellion troops here. Whatever has been produced so far could really be improved massively.
There are also some key WW1 sets that are very much missing, in particular Romanians and Bulgarians. Greeks would also be nice, in particular the Evzones that fought so bravely in WW1.
Fill the gap between the familiar 1st century legionaries and the almost Byzantine "late" Roman sets.
Would not necessarily require new "Barbarian" types, as these legions spent as much time fighting each other for their respective nominees to the purple.
Though we still need some decent Goth/Vandal/Frank era German infantry units.
Also support calls for Anglo-Indian wars of 19th century; native armies would make great figures.
