Once again it is almost certain that these two were in the pipeline well before the wish programme began. There's no great conspiracy here

I would also agree with your statement. And it is also worth mentioning that making these Star Alliance are relatively simple since the livery are largely identical and very small modification required (needed a logo change only) and viola we have new models. This is in line with manufacturing strategy imo and it makes sense that NG makes them. Many of the CRP models have not been made before and it would take a long time for the correct illustration to be created.

agree with @YesterAirlines & @quanng
Star Alliances are an easy-do, and given NG's recent release history, unsurprising, though absurd it may be.
Also, whether we like it or not, they're extremely popular, just like Qatar is, may be not represented amongst the vocal few here on the forums.
Having said that, while the CA Star Alliance is marked as 'Released' I'm surprised that others that have been released - such as the AF 77Ws, are not.

My problem with this program now is the approved productions are being released as ‘Lite’ versions and NG is tagging them as ‘released’. Hopefully that doesn’t meant we won’t see the normal quality version of them.

The KLM 321neo isn’t Lite, no?

I'd call it "Lite" without grey.

AF 77Ws were not from CRP requests but requested year ago. However F-GSQI should be marked as released since it has been request on the website

Correct. That one isn’t. But we have seen several models reportedly released from that list that are. Like the Asiana releases

'Lite' releases are clearly marked by NG in their release announcements and release artwork - so there's no surprise there

It's still confusing with that Qatar 777 retro, which has antennas but said to be Lite

They're clearly listed as 2 separate items with 2 distinct part numbers on the NG website - see below - so not sure what the confusion is - aerials etc aren't the point in this case as the conversation is about whether it was announced as a Lite prior, which it was - nonetheless one can see the Lite has low or inadequate colour accuracy (as @Phantom pointed out in an earlier post) and print quality and details (or lack thereof) - that are very apparent in the photos.
We can speculate on why this is perhaps the longest delayed NG release yet, and why a Lite version was announced later and released soon after, while the earlier announcement is still marked 'delayed' - but that's a separate conversation. The point is whether NG announces the 'Lite' versions prior - and yes, they do, and they did for this A7-BAC Lite as well.

I'll say it differently this time.
When i voted for some of those releases in the request site, I did not expect them to be released as 'Lite' items. I would expect them to be released as regular items. That is a bit of a surprise.
They also are labeling some of the items we voted for as 'released'. Does that mean that now they have released the 'Lite' version they are off the hook for a regular version?
that's another bit surprising to me.

All of this, I totally agree with you on.
Yam Dreaming as a Lite release is a bummer. I'm sure it was very clear we wanted a regular release. Unless, because it was the first ever NG release way back in 2018 when the company was launched - though marked as a sample at the time (curiously it doesn't show on their database though) - NG decided to not release it again. Which is unusual, considering it has re-released a few models in the past.
We didn't vote for 'Lite' versions
PH-AXA though, is marked as a regular release

Mostly 1:200 amongst the 10 new 'approvals' , except a couple or 3.
the UA Rising Blue 752 will be good to have in 1:400.

Those are all 1:200, which they haven't done.
