Agreed but it could be limited at first. Only licensed d&d/ad&d miniatures from TSR, Grenadier, and Ral Partha as a start and expand as necessary or interest demands.
Might broaden the community here at the Acaeum as well, whether desired or not.
Doesn't seem much different than a subweb on small press
rpg items which was bandied about at some point but never went anywhere.
