Yes you are a real pain in the arse
They are in the works. We just received several new designs. 
Right now we are just trying to bring the Squire line to life and finish the first group of next gens. Some of which will be sent to Gimo, Sweden for review.

Guys these look pretty darn good for a budget line.
Great to have decent looking practice weapons made in the US at this price point.

Love the new line! The Knight model would sure look good if it were offered in the straight guard as shown , OR a Highland style downturned guard and rivet block. HINT...hinthint..... .....MCM.

In the near future, we will be offering some hilt variations oin existing blades in the NG line, ranging in price from $500 and up, depending on the complexity of the hilt. Some will be the same fittings as the Squire line (with minor changes and better finish) and there will be some new variations just in the NG line. One I am personally anxious for is a straight guard, convex pommel with our XI blade (currently on the Ritter), based on a sword from the Royal Armoury.
So keep hinting...

Howy, that last little tidbit of info just makes my day. It seems that pretty soon, as Albion grows and expands, the customer will just about be able to pick and choose a sword of a complete custom nature. Within reason, that is. Way cool. Keep hinting, huh? Okay.....could we have 'em hand-delivered....by the Swedish bikini team?....With some beer? ....MCM.

Hilt variations on the Next Gen line? That sounds really cool. I for one wpould love to see the Knight with a style 6 cross, like in Oakeshotte's "Records.." type XII numbers 15 and 17.

I think the idea of hilt variations is a great way to extend the line.
Hopefully some alternate pommels will come around as well.
As I practice application more regularly, I'm finding my preferences adapting again.

Thanks,

I like that XVa a lot. The only thing that worries me is that it looks a little too pointy for safe reenactment use.
I like the XIIa too, especially the squashed, not quite round pommel.

Hey Roger!
We plan to round the points for swords intended for reenactment, and not on swords requested sharp.

Any chance of a late medieval single hander for the squire line? I'm looking for something suited to I.33 work. A type XVI would be great... sorta an analogue of the squire/Prince of the next gen line, The type XVa would work, but might be a tad heavy.
