J.P.Morgan explains the Euro crisis with LEGO

by Thita (admin) on September 7, 2011

Confused about the European monetary crisis? Don’t worry, a 9-year-old (Peter Cembalest) can clearly explain to you want is going on and who will end up paying. (Click on the picture for a larger view.)

If you want to read the scarier and boring-er adult explanation check out the whole post here: EYE ON THE MARKET – European Minifigure Union

Author Michael Cembalest states: “If today’s diorama analysis borders on the absurd, so does maintaining the fiction that accumulation of massive public and private sector claims in Europe can somehow be engineered away.”

It is great that LEGO can even be used to explain complex political and monetary issues! Although the conclusion is still a concern; those minifigs at the bottom left corner don’t look particularly happy! 😐

BrickWarriors is new on the LEGO customization scene, and just opened up their store with a bang; the great selection of LEGO custom items is causing a furry of excitement amongst LEGO fans! 😛

BrickWarriors custom LEGO accessories are designed by Ryan Hauge (aka. Thrash). If you happen to know Thrash, you know that his ideas have been in the making for some time now. Here is a picture he posted earlier this year, giving us a teaser of exciting things to come:

QUALITY: Thrash uses the same ABS plastic as LEGO, so his custom LEGO accessories are completely compatible with your LEGO minifigs.

MOLD DETAIL: Thrash seems to have captured that perfect balance between accuracy and LEGO-ishness in his custom LEGO designs.

COLORS: The current colors available are black, pearl-dark-gray, reddish brown and red. Not all items are available in all colors just yet.

PRODUCTS: So far there is a nice mix of modern, historic and fantasy custom LEGO weapons and armor pieces. In addition there are also some great minifig accessories. And I’m sure there is going to be more in the future! 😉

SUMMARY: I highly recommend trying out BrickWarriors! I have been very impressed with what I have seen in Thrash’s flick gallery, his friendly communication with his fans, friends and supporters, and the increadible details of his LEGO customs.

Also, I hope that one day Thrash will release his custom knight accessories as well. These were the first LEGO customs I have seen from him back in last December. And this is when I started following his progress, as I just got smitten by the beauty of these pieces! 🙂
