Since I haven't done any work on the site in at least 3 months, I figured I'd just publish it unfinished, and at least let the few sections that are done, be enjoyed by other collectors.
EDIT 11/25:
Current confrontations with a certain frienemy whos obsession with trying to defame me is becoming legendary and whos actions seem hell bent on running me out of the hobby(only over one of our dead bodies). They have only woken me up to the fact that my work here isn't done, and won't be any time soon.

I'm looking for co-editors. I know that Martijn and Steven(rebojazz) have previously mentioned wanting in, as well as Daren and Mike want on board. I'm going to set up admin accts, and passwords for you guys to add pics and info to everything on there. I'll set up a private list for those that end up being editors,so we can discuss what needs to be done to make the site the best that it can be.

John...... I need a banner code for TIG to put on the bottom of every page of the site, as, while the outer realm site is it's own entity, I still want TIG to be the launching point for everything the site is about, and to see TIG draw people away from the dark side.

I'll add the thanks to the bottom of the page when I re update another section later tonight.

Looks Great. At least I now have a reference point when buying this shit. Thanks!

Thanks Todd, lots more coming. Editing pics now actually....lol

Joe, Congrats on launching the "Outer Realm" site. It is an important archive and information for all star wars collectors and I'm glad to hear you are going to continue with some help from other bootleg guru's. Good luck and keep us updated. 

Good to see your back on board joe, you bring a lot of energy to the boot scene when your active, looking forward to seeing your site roll on to bigger and better things, without you boot experts, guys like me would be lightyears behind in the learning process and the hobby would be poorer without your collective knowledge.
Wish i could help contribute some knowledge to the outer realm, but im way too green to be able to offer anything that you guys havnt forgotten.

Joe, I have only read about you and have never had the plesure of dealing with you personally, but I have to say I am very happy seeing this. I know from reading that your bootleg knowledge is leaps and bounds above mine and you may actually be the leading expert in bootlegs period. I think it is great that you are wanting to stick around and continue to contribute. I admit I was worried when last year or so I saw the uzay for sale thread (thankfully I dont think any sold). I have not gotten into boots as much as I first thought I would simply becasue for now Ledy has caught my eye, but as soon as I finish the ledy run I am going to be jumping into the Mexican SA line as I already have some of those and find them very interesting. Wish I had more to contribute to the outer realm, but I am a newbie as far as bootleg collecting goes. I look forward to seeing everyones contributions in the upcoming year though.

I absolutely love the site, Joe.  I've been using it to research the Arco Spacewar figures and added a few loose ones to my collection.  I just thought a word of thanks would be appropriate.

The site is looking great Joe. I wish I had something to contribute. But I'm down to a few Mexis and a lonely Russian Bossk. So nothing useful to photograph and send you. I lost the bootleg bug along the way. Buuuuuuuut that Spacewar stuff is really enticing dammit.

I'm glad that you all like what's been done so far. I'm working on Japanese stuff at the moment, and am waiting for a return email from a friend giving me the names of a couple of the more obscure model companies that made a few things, and their names aren't in English on the packaging.

Also, I've been spending more of my time collecting Silver Age comics than buying SW stuff, there just isn't much out there for me to buy, and some of the items, when they come up, are from sellers that I'd never buy from now, based on their previous shitty actions towards me.

J

Joe,

As a non-bootleg collector, I love the site and all of the work that you and others have put into it. The Arco Spacewar figures are awesome and so damn tempting. Good luck on the Uzay mold auctions and take care my friend.

More work done on the following sections:

Working on the Early items and Heritage figures sections next!! As well as adding some editors to work on other portions of the site to get it completed asap.

Cheers

Good luck with the site Joe - contrary to your belief, I think it would be nice if it were finished.

Jesse, the Arco set is looking good so far. If I come across any of the ones that you're missing, I'll shoot you a message.

Jason, I've actually been really enjoying putting the info together for the site, it's put me back in contact with friends and contacts that I'd missed talking to(and buying from), as I've needed to refresh my memory on certain details.

Mete, after your over zealous,above and beyond approach attack, both in private messages and on RS, as you took great joy in outing my sock puppet acct on RS, Your actions in that situation spoke volumes more than any words you could type. I wasn't harming anyone w. that acct, and the few that knew were having a laugh. Re read every post that PK made, and the humor of "his" posts would make Andy Kaufman proud. I'm not here to make you the bad guy, nor am I here to be pushed into that role by you. IF you had wanted to put us right, you could have, and you know it. I've got better things to do than argue with you.

Cheers
Joe

Fantastic work your putting into your site Joe  
 
You have made me a big fan of the Arco Space Warriors and the Tomland figures  
 
I remember seeing them on the shelves when I was a kid  
 
As a kid I thought they were awful of course , but I had a few and they got broken pretty quickly  
 
Since I have gotten older and weirder I really appreciate their uniqueness now - so cheesy but yet so cool  
 
Thank you for all your hard work and bringing all these great and forgotten odd lines into the light
