I think a build-a-playset or vehicle is a fantastic idea! I don't think it should be something you'd need the original HQ to use, though; something stand-alone would make more sense for fans who don't have the older sets. Playsets along the lines of the old Checkpoint, Cobra Bunker, Outpost Defender, etc, seem ideal for this sort of thing.

I definitely think it would encourage greater sales -- as a Marvel Legends collector, I've bought figures I'd otherwise have passed on like Baron Zemo, Ultimate characters, X-Men: The Last Stand figures... all to get parts for the series' Build-A-Figure. I'm not as much of a Joe completist, especially when I'm just missing a new version of an old character, and I'm betting there's lots more collectors like me who'd get roped in by a modular playset or vehicle.
