What size of miniatures is Mongoose considering? If it's 25 or 28 mm then I will DEFINITELY and enthusiastically purchase any and all miniature sets. I do have some very old metal Traveller miniautes, including all the major Traveller Races. But for the most part my friends and I simply use Star Wars plastic minis for just about everything, because they are light, standard size that people are used to (If you want to attract Fantasy RPG'r that's what they expect in a mini) and come in a wide variety of types that can be used for just about any kind of Human Traveller character you can think of. That's how the D&D miniature series became so popular. There were sets of stand alone tactical combat games, complete with fold-out combat maps, but most people gobbled them up to use in their RPG games. If you go with 15mm size then I will never buy them. I use miniatures for RPG but as with the example above, the 25/28 mm size can be used in war games as well. Plus, people who play Starwars or other Sci-fi/near future games will probably buy your new traveller sets just to have some variety and flavor to their games. Don't forget to include robots, technicians, Engineers, Nobles, and other "non-combat" oriented minis used for flavor. Maybe 1 in each box?
So... 25/28 sized miniatures I WILL BUY AND SO WILL MY FRIENDS!!!
Also as a request, but I understand cost vs sales concerns, it would be GREAT if you could have a molding of the standard air/raft or GUV or even small armored G-Carrier at the 25/28 mm scale. Starwars has a couple of small vehicles I currently use for Traveller vehicles. I know it's a pipe dream, but hey... don't ask, don't get.
