Does anyone have some ideas on how to build a cheap GI Joe headquarters? I was thinking about making one out of Legos, but that would be pretty expensive.

If I had to, I could just do a simple diorama of the Command Center.

I've seen some awesome dioramas on youtube where they just made stuff out of cardboard boxes. The ninja dojo was pretty cool.

Cardboard and paint works wonders.

Or you could use those chain base from Gundam. Just Google "Gundam mechanical chain base". I've seen a couple of tankers use them as a backdrop for their Gi Joe photos. I used them also for my dio to display my joes

Thank you for everyone's replies. You have to save money where you can. GI Joes aren't $3 anymore, sadly.

Cardboard and paint. Call it recycling. When you tire of it, you can light it on fire in the backyard like you would have as a kid. (I know I burnt several HQs as a kid)
I built my own version of the 1982 HQ, a Flagg, a PIT and a cobra bunker based on the one that the Joe's raid in an early comic where Recondo is introduced.

I always use old toys from the thrift store. my GIJ HQ is basically a box with two shelves and a Bratz Doll Snow lodge on top.
