While the tesselations look pretty cool on paper, it seems a bit too
easy to transfer a flat image to a flat construction. The biggest challenge
with the Escher collection is turning the physically impossible designs into
physical creations. Granted, they're only mostly 2D, and mostly 2D isn't
all 2D, but I don't think anyone's going to go through Escher's pockets
looking for loose change...um, I mean, the 2D parts wouldn't be nearly as
exciting to see reproduced in LEGO than the 3D parts.

Horsemen? It's a tesselation printed on a moebius strip, which could
be extremely interesting to see in 3D, and it would require some serious
trickery to reproduce in LEGO.
