I like Miniart's stuff and I've bought a few of them.. but with all the new modern vehicles and figures being released (starting from Vietnam and onward).. don't the people at Miniart feel that diversifying a little with some modern buildings and diorama bases could actually be good for their business?

I agree with Hisham. Also, don't know if I am the only one, but I have issues with the fit at MiniArt's vacuum parts. The counterbalance of course is always the vacuum's prices, unlike the kits with plastic, resin or ceramic parts.

Ditto to both. MAIM do a great range of Middle Eastern buildings but the prices are prohibitive and the availability scarce.

The placement of the streetlight seems sort of odd in their build up pic.
Sort of stuck on out there in the street.
With no sidewalk area, having the light out there seems, well, odd to me.
I am happy to see that the base does not have a texture-free area where the pole has to go to fill a gap.
