Hello all! I've been collecting individual wall panels for the 1983 Headquarters Command Center in order to have no broken tabs. I have noticed that most panels are silver grey, but some seem to have a very slightly greenish tint to the silver. Is this unusual, and could it be that some parts are actually from the 1992 version or a different playset entirely?

Probably discolored. I’ve owned 2 of these and the one I currently have has gray walls.

Seconded, or perhaps slight variations in the manufacturing process, but discoloration would be my first guess. As far as I know, the parts for both the 83 and 92 HQs are completely different.

Definitely sounds like discoloration from sun damage. Might want to try the H2O2 technique.

Thanks fellas. I gave the wall sections a coating of Hair Developer +40 creme (strong H202) and set it in the sun for about an hour or so. Green tint is gone, silver/grey finish is back!
