If you're going to get the three books, you might as well spend the same $12 on The Traveller Book.
Again, just my Cr0.02.

The Traveller Book is awesome, especially if you're into the Imperium setting. The only reason I like the original box is because it compliments my D&D box so well and is divorced from any setting, allowing for more of my own imagination

There were other versions of Traveller? People think CT was backward? Man, I'm out of touch. I know of 3 LBB Traveller which I thought was the first version. Then recently I found the Traveller Starter Edition which seems to be the same material combined into normal sized pages and better layout plus artwork. But the content seems identical. I never thought there was anything wrong with those rules (aside from wasting space on psionics and improving skills, since both are astronomically unlikely to happen).

I really like the Starter Edition but for some reason the Experience and Drugs section were omitted - which is why I prefer the original booklets (1981 revised) or the Traveller Book.
