What miniatures, if any, do you use for your games of Traveller? I'm tempted to pick up some of the plastic Star Wars minis as some of them look to be usable. Are there any other decent options?
The problem I find with the Star Wars minis is that they distract from "Traveller" and players are reminded of "Star Wars" which results in a non-Traveller in character (or OOC) comments that are directly from Star Wars (a pet hate of mine - not Star Wars but out of context comments).
There's nothing wrong with the actual miniatures themselves - just that they aren't 'generic' - they are much too "Star Wars".
Others that I do use are various metal minis picked up over the years that are all more generic SF figures. Have a look at what Ground Zero Games have available.
It amazes me there aren't really any official traveller miniatures out there, I know that megaminis did some ships and some really bad droyne, but there used to be a great traveller line with imperial marines, characters, etc.
It's just so hard to believe no one does a real, decent, traveller line today.

All I saw was a Blog / Forum. I've got plenty of Traveller specific forums that I don't have the time to get to so I'm not going to read through the whole thing to find the minis; my attempt to do a search was in vain too.If you're really stuck I've done a few 28mm Traveller paper minis you can use - on my website under 'RPG Stuff':
