I'm surprised no one has brought this up:

12/19/2006 - Ken Burnside of Ad Astra Games has made the following
announcement:
Ad Astra Games is pleased to announce that we've just signed deals with Far
Future Enterprises and BITS to bring Traveller miniatures to the starship
combat scene!
First, we will be printing Power Projection: Fleets (a Traveller adaptation of
the Full Thrust rules set) in the US; our first order of business is dealing
with the backstock of orders outstanding in the retail tier.
Our second deal is that we're taking over the Traveller line of miniatures
from MegaMiniatures, and will be creating new miniatures for starships of the
Traveller universe; our first run of miniatures will be matching the ships
found in Power Projection.
More information on this will be coming along shortly.
Comments?

Comments? Well, those Traveller miniatures didn't last long. Is there some
sort of curse associated with the Traveller gaming system?
(Long time fan, since 1977, but I'm amazed at the number of Traveller licenses
that have come and gone!)

Not sure I have a comment, but do wonder a few things, such as what
MegaMiniatures and Steve Jackson Games reaction would be, and if this isn't
quite a bit for Burnside's group to bite off, especially as he's already split
between Star Fleet Games and Ad Astra, a bit too busy to respond to my store's
queries.
We'll see...
