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.

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.
