So far, I think the year has been pretty good, and we're only, what, 4 weeks in.

• Zvezda have released a snap-fit kit of the best tank of WW2; the T34/85


• Roden have released their Rolls Royce 1920 Pattern in 1/72


• First to Fight have released a 75mm mle97, two-to-a-box


• Waterloo 1815 have released their Alpini


• W^D Models have released 2 sets of despatch riders


• At some point Strelets will release their Lawrence of Arabia set


• HaT will release two WW1 sets

To me, this has been a good start.

To add to PDA's list, here is a preview from the Nuremberg Toy Fair:

And a Custers last stand set by Waterloo , the figures look fantastic.
