Seeing some pictures of this HQ has sparked my interest in this set again.
Any one have this? What are your thoughts? Looks like the 2001 version has some really good colors compared to the orange original. The yojoe entry looks like it has not been updated since it first came out and does not have good pictures of what parts this thing has. I was also thinking the 2001 version would be cool between 2 of my 2 83' HQ's! |

I just got one of these last night in a big lot... but I have no idea how complete it is... looking at the few pics on YoJoe, I'd say I only have the shell. I'll know more tonight, probably.
I prefer the 83, but it's been elusive for me as of late... |

I have the 2002 version, which the only difference is the name of the figure included. New in box I have been tempted to open it, but I just got a mostly complete 83 headquarters.

I had a '92 one for a short time about 10 years back. I think it would be best served as part of a larger set up with other playsets.

honestly thinking about it now given that it has a tower like design it might have made for a better silent castle.

I have the 2001 version. I like it but it doesn't blow me away. I rank it behind the 83 HQ and the MMC for sure. Still, if you can get it for a decent price it is worth picking up.

I wanna get home to see what all I have...
This pic is from the seller, I picked up everything last night and did a brief once over to see what all I had, but didn't get into it deeply. |

Cool you got a drome too! Here is a tip be sure to check inside the main circle you may just find that last dome pie piece. I was lucky enough to find mine all the way stuck in the bottom.
Also looks like you have the 2001 hq version cool! Will be interesting to see which pieces you have and if the light works! |

Yep, the light works... the sounds are old school, lol...
I still have to go through a few more boxes to try to find all the pieces, but I snapped a pic all closed up... |

No such luck. The drome is a mess. Broken, missing everything, yellowed. Even one of the bulkhead walls inside is cracked. Tabs are broken on the base. It's scrap. I'll be selling the unbroken bulkheads and the pie pieces as well as any unbroken computer consoles. Still cool to see, it's bigger than I thought.
