My thoughts on each:
  1. India Animal Pack: I would probably call it South Asian to avoid country-specific packs. I wouldn't want other countries to feel left out, but I do like many regional pack concepts, especially for East and South Asia. As for the animal lineup, I really like the blackbuck, macaque, and cobra. I have a slight preference for grey langurs; I think they are pretty. I also think the Indian savannah could use another ungulate besides the blackbuck, but I'm flexible with which one. The honey badger seems like a high-profile animal that could probably come in this pack if it doesn't come elsewhere. Also, the fishing cat is my personal favorite option for a South Asian animal pack although I recognize the greater importance and popularity of the blackbuck and cobra.
  2. East Asia Animal Pack: This is probably the exact pack I would make, but I and many others would prefer a Reeves's Muntjac to the also-nice water deer. Yellow-throated martens also exist.
  3. Africa Animal Pack: I will cry if there is no serval. I also really like guerezas and grey crowned cranes, but the guenon and secretary bird are ok alternatives. I would personally pick a different antelope, but I like the overall taxa representation you've selected.
  4. Highland Animal Pack: I think most of the high-profile candidates have been added. If NA gets another goat, it should probably be the musk ox, but I know some people would be excited about an elk. A condor would be very cool if possible. I don't think a third flamingo would go over well. The other animals are fine and somewhat popular, but they don't excite me too much.
  5. Woodland Animal Pack: I'd be thrilled if we got a bear! If our elk was bumped to highlands, that could free up a spot for a chital, pudu, or PD deer. I love cats, but a 3rd leopard subspecies might upset some people. I would mostly buy this for the bear, but I'm not sure about the others.
  6. Coastal Animal Pack: People will riot if there is no walrus in a coastal pack, and many would hope for a manatee. As much as I'd like my brown pelican, the great white is more popular. I'd prefer the rockhopper for a fourth penguin, but the gentoo is ok for a fifth.
  7. Urban Pack: How often do Indian Leopards roam cities? I'd like the possum and the langur.
  8. Australia Pack: I was a little concerned about the missing echidna, bilby, possum, and rock wallaby until I saw them moved elsewhere. The black swan would be a popular candidate, and I personally like magpie geese.
  9. Island Animal Pack: I will cry if we get such a pack with no tree kangaroo. Also, I'd prefer a chameleon for an exhibit animal. No more pigs, please! I'd like an anoa instead.
  10. Antarctica: For such a limited theme, I like it more than I would have expected.
  11. Wetlands pack: We already got this theme, but I'd love a fishing cat.
  12. Desert animal pack: The vicuna seems excessive with the guanco. A mara would be much more useful. I like the roadrunner and love the thorny devil.
Thoughts on the overall combination of animals: I would buy most of the animals, but I'd hope we get more monkeys, including guerezas, more guenons, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and especially tamarins. There are a good amount of birds, but the absence of ibises, ducks, and the grey crowned crane would be disappointing. I and many others will be sad if there is no coati or tree kangaroo. I personally would be sad if there was no golden lion tamarin or serval. I would probably buy all of the packs for at least one of the animals in each, but I'd like to get more monkeys, waterfowl, and South American representation overall.
