It seems to me that certain items only appear in GO HQ when either I don't need them, or I haven't got enough room in my storage to buy them. I have thought this for a while but thought I was probabl...

Lots of people complaining about an issue vs one guy saying he has no problems.... What 'all evidence to the contrary'? You're the only one claiming that, and you sound like a shill doing so. You don't have a problem? Then what are you doing here? Trolling the forums to brag?
You're not a very careful reader, are you. JeffK is not the only one claiming to have no problem with the HQ. I stated earlier that I have achieved full territory expansion in my 2 cities (levels 14 and 26), and am about to achieve full storage expansion in both as well. I used my level 14 city as a feeder city for dozer parts, but that was just to save some time. And my level 26 city is doing quite nicely with storage items on its own.
EA shills -- we are legion.
So.. 2 people, crucify me. You cannot argue that EA doesn't want you to expand very quickly. The very essence of "time management" games would contradict you. We're just going an extra step and implying that EA is purposely hiding these items. But it's not a jump in logic, because by definition, time management games are supposed to waste your time by making you wait. So it's not only a reasonable assumption, we're seeing evidence of it in the forums. 2 people say 'no that's not true' and I'm supposed to change my mind? I'm not that gullible.
Most people don't log in to say things are working fine. Naturally, because this is primarily a support forum, people usually come on here to complain.
Most people don't test scenarios that conflict their assumption of wrongdoing, they just immediately assume wrongdoing. As I've stated more times than I care to count, you can't just say "I have problem finding items I need" and realistically expect it to be believed. You need to perform the same tests for the same items when you DON'T need them. You need to pay attention to the times that the things you DO need show up quickly. People aren't doing that, so I am.
If you were really interested in determining the validity of your accusation, you'd pay more attention to these other cases. But you're only interested in suggesting that the trials I've done are invalid because I'm the only one that cares to do them.
