Club 23 Speakeasy is straight out of the prohibition days of the 1920's which is why there is a Model A included as well. Up front there is a very small shop to provide cover for what is behind. The speakeasy is accessed through the phone booth. Your minifigs will be treated to a small casino and bar in the back room. There is a roulette table, craps table, piano and a bar. If the police arrive the top of the gaming tables can be covered up, the roulette wheel can be flipped over on to cover the top of the barrel where all the drinks are thrown. Upstairs there is a small brewery and an office for the gangster that controls the whole operation.

Some Indiana Jones sets came with some, Venice Canal Chase being one of them.

Thanks for the info, I really wish I would have been paying attention to LEGO back when those sets were available at retail....... I imagine a lot of you guys got them for a lot less than that?!?!

You would be surprised by the amount of newfound AFOL's on the site. Most came out of their Dark Ages around the time they found BrickPicker. Many are in the same boat as yourself.

 

Back on topic... Very nice build as usual, though speaking for myself, a Speakeasy isn't exactly up my alley.

Where did they get those little Tommy Guns?

You could also get some from a few Cars and Pharaoh's Quest sets. Here is a listing of all sets that came with a tommy gun. I believe the ones used here are customs by Brick Arms.

That sounded a little funnier than it should. Haha. I do agree though. It is a decent design but not really something for my own city. Also the phone booth entrance seems a bit hokey like classic Superman or maybe Get Smart.
