One piece I never had as a kid was the 1983 GI JOE Headquartes (PITT). I've decided to try and pick one up as the center piece to my Joe collection. About how much would I expect to pay for a complete one in good condition (without box)?
Would it be easier to try and piece one together or just bite the bullet and purchase a complete one? Ebay prices are all over the place for this item. I'm guessing about $100....would that be accurate? I'd also entertain offers from fellow Tankers if you have one to sell. Thanks |

I'd say buy one that near complete, those usually go for pretty cheap...around 20 dollars?
Then look around for the hard to find pieces like the chairs, cell doors, guns/cameras and buy those seperately. |

When I was on the hunt for an HQ, a near or 100% complete one went for about $50 or so. I ended up picking up a Tactical Battle Platform instead. Works great for my Joes, but even that playset is too big for my room.

You can get one for way cheaper than $100. You could probably get 2, maybe 3 at that price that arent 100% and put together a nice one and sell the others.
The thing to look for is broken tabs on the walls. I have a headquarters but almost every wall has a broken tab. The Jail especially is easy to break.

The platform is awesome and can be had with box for pretty cheap. Once I move I know I will be getting one of these.

I've been thinking of buying new parts to replace the couple of broken and missing pieces on my TTBP and then selling it.

I sold my TTBP recently here on HISS tank, as well as the HQ. The HQ can be had dirt cheap if you don't mind broken tabs on the jail cell. The one I had was only missing a spotlight or so. However, the HQ is prone to yellowing so look carefully at the pictures when you decide to get it. You'll find that a lot of them do not even have matching colors on each section. The sides of my old HQ were all much grayer than the front. Just keep looking and you'll find a decent one for a good price. I've seen some go for $20 before even. However, one that is absolutely mint with hardly any flaws can get pricey.

I recently purchased a HQ with box no paperwork and only missing one piece. I still haven't put it all together but I'll be looking for the broken tabs. Oh I paid $50 for it.
