The peak we have had is 80 items entering the approval process in a day, this does not mean for sure they are new they may have been edited and the artist is retrying the approval process. Models are much more likely to be rejected on the store than audio assets which is why you don't see as many models yet, artists are still learning the quality standards the store needs
I can assure there are a fair few in the approval process now that look very promising, but we rely on the artists to add media. Currently TGC is only adding media for model packs for pledgers but after that there will be TGC produced content also.
Chris is the only one working on approving the items, he also has to add all the store items for the pledge packs to the store one by one (for example he has added 70 models in the last few days and he isn't done yet), so he is a busy guy.
