Some of the (expired) $2M in gold currency and other items found in two safes in the basement.




Into the basement...


Looking into the steel-reinforced bunker directly under the speakeasy bar...

The bar's original icebox. There's a bunch of cool old labels stuck on the back wall. I wonder what else they kept in here?




Couple of paw prints of the bar's original "basement cat".

One of these windows was my very first NYC apartment. Don't ask me which one.

You see pictures of this horrifying C3PO tape dispenser online all the time, with lots of speculation about how it's some creepy Chinatown knockoff, etc. - nope! This is an officially licensed product from Sigma Ceramics. If you're ever bored, do a search for "Sigma Star Wars" on eBay to see the wide range of truly frightening officially endorsed merchandise that the nice people at Sigma put out.


Not gonna make a big deal about it, but the Cloud Car Pilot needs to be moved to the Empire figures, and the Prune Face and the Bib Fortuna should go with the Jedi figures.
