This has all come to pass very quickly. I hope that I can keep items coming in and the section full of lively bootleg discussions. I'll make a more detailed post later, I'm actually kinda speechless at the moment.

Thanks to the TIG team for making this possible

Cheers
Joe

Joe

Couldn't be happier to have you onboard!!

Now get to work, slacker

I have a bad feeling this new section is going to hurt my wallet !!!

Joe, welcome aboard. And if you remember, you did say you wanted to start a website for bootlegs. Nows your chance to do it the way you want to. Be more than happy to ask anything and Ill help out anyway I can.

Now this is gonna be awesome!!!!

Congrats Joe! Obviously this is long overdue. Thanks TIG team for making this happen. I can't wait to see what you have planned. I think this will be my new home

YES! very exciting. nerdgasm.

Just wanted to say I am happy for you Joe and also happy for the bootleg collectors as I know your knowledge will be extremely helpful to others : )
Best wishes, -Steve

This is great! Good luck Joe and thanks for sharing your expertise.

This is OUR section not "my" section, there are a lot of knowledgeable bootleg collectors here. I've got articles and ideas in the works. Stuff for us ALL to work on together. I want to hear your ideas, and information if it's not out there already Much of it will be build up for another project that I'll be starting on full force in the fall. WE can make this a great place where the bootleg community can grow and thrive.
and not worry about being banished for calling someone a "dooshbag"


Cheers
Joe

Great to have you here Joe!!

Make this the No. 1 place for the bootleg community!

Great stuff. A real coup for TIG to have "Mr Bootleg" onboard.

I'm very excited to have a place specifically for discussing bootlegs, it should be a lot of fun!

Glad you guys came up with this great idea! Joe, Glad you are around! I will do my best, no promises, to not say stupid stuff!

This section is gonna be AWESOME!!!!!

Good luck with it, Joe.

This is great! Even changed my avatar for the occasion

For an update /redux of the article that's on the archive, I'm definitely going to need your help. I'd to get front and side pics of as many figures as possible to show every limb attachment and color variant that we can. I'll be cracking open my display case and re-photographing my figures and boxes. I'd like to cover both series AND the vehicles/playset in one article this time.

Cheers and thanks
Joe

Just wanted to say its cool to have you as part of the team here on TIG it seems your knowledge and status in the hobby are second to none. Even if bootlegs are not my thing I look forward to reading this section of the forum.
