I would like to nominate a no brainer, our friend from down under
Has done a shed load for this forum always the first to answer questions, very helpful, great sense of humour
Not sure about the Ewok thing thou, but each go there own
Plays a mean Bilabong, TIG's very own Aussie James

Oh yeah, AJ is a no brainer for being on the short list of great tiggers. He is always helping out and is a leading weapons guy who does extensive research into the different bits. he is also a really cool guy to know, just wish he didn't live on the other side of the freaking planet (then maybe I could sneak his Ledy stuff away). I won't post the details here in case he doesn't want me to out it, but AJ and his family also have a really cool cause that they are heavily involved in. They help the physically handicapped/disabled to achieve mobility and excersize through the use of specialty custom built bicycles. More than a worthy cause if I have ever seen one. I am hoping to help sponsor a bike this year, or at least help towards one. (Depends on if business picks up or not).

It's actually a big day for my other hobby tomorrow.   Offroad racing day for kids & their families:

One of the originals and best. An honest guy with a good sense of fair play and always there to help.    good luck with this season's racing AJ!

Cheers to A.J! I can see that he's always there to help out as many people as he can on and off the forum.

I think Lobotic should get a mention for his work on Figure of the week thread, he has not been here long but great work Lobotic, should be recognised I think
Cheers Andy

Your 110% right Andy. Mark has come to the board as a force to be reckoned with. He took it upon himself to gather and organize tons of information and links and put them together. He is an awesome guy and very much appreciated. Matt is also helping mark with the task so I don't want to leave him out either. Both great members of TIG and both great guys.

Serious cheers to Mark! He's doing a great job with that section and I'm glad to be of help to him!

Nice one Bryan, you were probably going to mention this anyway knowing you mate, sorry if I jumped the gun, but well done guys

That's what this thread is all about. We have lots of super members here, and anyone can give a shout out to any of them. This thread highlights how great a family we all have become. It isn't just for me to pat people on the back but for everyone to be able to say how great an experience they have had with their fellow TIG members.

BTW: I scanned back and realized I missed the Walkie shout out. If you guys haven't had a chance to get to know Stef, you are missing out. He has put in endless time making various guides and he is the sole person who has designed our latest banners and shirt designs. He puts in tons of effort to help us all learn a thing or two and is an all around good person to have on board.

Also I didn't post any for a bit, so I am going to use my mod rights to post another.

I have made some great friends here, but a few stand out as some of my best friends. Some are already mentioned in this thread, but this one hasn't been.......yet. I really made a true buddy lately who is also very active and has been great to have around. From private messages wishing me well, to public messages helping out various people; this guy goes out of his way to brighten all of our days. He participates in a lot of threads around here and is always helpful. He is also the current movie detail King (don't get used to it as I will play next time ). Of course I am talking about Andy aka: Nico. If you want to get to know a great guy this is one of the best. I live far away but I think if I ever went to the uk I believe Andy would probably welcome me with open arms. He is one of those laid back kinds who would be cool to grab a beer with and share some collector stories.

Agreed.. Andy is awesome!

Nice guy to chat with and always willing to lend a helping hand or give advice.

There are a lot more worthy than me Bryan but I thank you mate
If I ever win the lottery I'll come and visit you in Texas on my way back from Oklahoma.
The beers on me buddy

I only mentioned it because of the efforts of the two newish guys

James, that is a great picture bro

Not sure how safe some of those look thou

I would like to nominate one more today and that is good old Bill (Hellhippie) a very friendly guy who I have asked a few noobish questions, but he has answered them like a true gent. He LOVES his Poch figures, horror films and is totally hardcore when it comes to music A true great genuine guy with a big heart, glad to have met you on the forums Bill, Top Bloke
Cheers Andy

I second that. Bill's a great dude and always seems to be there for the topic of POCH to spread some knowledge!

Just kidding, Bill is an awesome dude even if he is a giants fan. He is a great person to have around and contributes a lot to conversations and the board. You made another great nomination Andy.

Ive asked Bill Poch/PBP questions by PM a few times and is always happy to help with great pics and info, and he's a hardcore Rocker and loves horror films

Mark, Matt, Andy and Bill...

I'd also like to give a shout out to Roger (TeekSolo) who not only has been helping out with some updates to the main site but watches far too much TV for our good when it comes down to the TIG TV Show Detail Game

Thanks Paul, always happy to help when my viewing schedule allows.

Roger's a great new addition to TIG all around. Great to have you on board.

Have just seen this and have never felt so welcome  thanks guys
To many people to mention, but a massive shout out to these Guys - Bryan, Matt, Paul, Bill, John, James, Andy, Roger and Taz if i have forgotten anyone sorry.

You have all excepted me and been very patient (Bryan lol) even though i started a bit hectic and my SW knowledge was minimal (and thats being kind)!! But i do feel like i have a new circle of friends or an adopted family lol

If you think the links was a good idea wait till see my next one its a corker    !!!! And I am not going anywhere I have been a bit caught up with work lately but i am here for good    

And if i must say something it would be...... Roger- is sleeping with Claudia winkleman!! Bryan- Patient, LILI LEDY and factory knowledge is subliminal etc etc (some knowledge there) etc lol!!, Matt- Quiz master, Marvel champ and perfect wingman!! I could carry on and on but some of us are here to work!!!    

Yes Rodger((Teek) has been great as well, good shout Paul

Although he watches far too much TV

Another great shout out.  Roger is a pleasure to have around.  I swear I will win another point in the tv show (even if I have to ban him to do it. )  Great choice Paul.
