The bag's in the wrong hand on the Tianemen Square setup - seems like a poor mistake to make considering the level of accuracy elsewhere.
I don't really know what to think. Are we not mocking these events by recreating them in lego, resplendant in smiling faces and home-made tanks? Or is that the point, that they're over and we can reflect on them in different ways? Whatever, they're pretty cool.
Aye, Paul worries (below) that it might be mocking, I don't think it is, but the subject matter has to be done carefully.
I tend to look at things from a slight abstraction, and there's not doubt that this sort of thing will bring the originals to the attention of some that hadn't seen them (the vietnam one I don't think I'd actually seen for example).
I don't think it's intentionally mocking, although I've no doubt some will find it that way, I think it's just a different medium to get a message across, and mostly well done. You're right about the bag in the wrong had, a fairly simple mistake to have avoided given the effort.

In two minds about that one (and the other death ones) to be honest....

Although the smiling faces are pretty scary.
