Continuing with more LEGO set reveals for the second half of 2021, we now have a first look at the LEGO Marvel 2021 Advent Calendar (76196) coming from the Japanese catalog. The image does confirm some of the minifigures that were reported to have including Iron Man with an ugly sweater, Spider-Man in the yellow jacket, Thor, Black Widow, and Thanos. It is listed as a September 1 release with the price point most likely being $39.99.
Amazon France has revealed the first of the LEGO Marvel What If…? sets with Tony Stark’s Sakaarian Iron Man (76194). The set has 369 pieces and it features an Iron Man suit in Sakaarian armor and the mech can change into a race car. The set also includes minifigures of Tony Stark, Valkyrie, and The Watcher. There’s no word on pricing or release date at this time.
The Working Mini Golf Course by LEGOParadise is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is fully functional and playable by using a gear to control the minifigure. The course has some moving features such as the rolling hills and the windmill.
The project now joins Imperial Island Fort, Movie Set, Lifeguard’s Shack, A-Frame Cabin, Spaceballs, The Costume Store, Boston Dynamics Spot 1:4 Scale Motorized Model, Medieval Tavern, and Tavern Under the Snow as the ones to reach the Second 2021 Review Stage.

The LEGO Art World Map (31203) is now available and this morning, LEGO has also dropped the designer video for the set. Design Manager Fiorella Groves gives some insight on creating the set with the most pieces ever.
Fiorella also gives a hint of an Easter egg that she has thrown in the set. She is originally from Hong Kong and the Chinese culture means a lot to her so she has hidden something in the ocean to represent that.
For those who don’t want to look for it, it is in the Pacific Ocean and if you look closely, you can see the Chinese character 李 which means Lee. We can confirm on Fiorella’s Twitter is it is part of her name and that’s pretty awesome.
The LEGO Art World Map (31203) is now available on the LEGO Shop but here in the US, it is temporarily out of stock. You can read our early review of the set here.
In my final review of the newest wave of LEGO Monkie Kid sets, I have the The Legendary Flower Fruit Mountain (80024). It has 1,949 pieces and retails for $169.99. All the parts are in numbered bags to 18.
LEGO Japan currently has a new promotion going on for a mini Carousel (5006745) which is in the same scale as one of the promos that we will be having here in the US in few weeks. The Carousel features a small ride with some duckies and it looks like there’s a printed Japan 2021 tile on the front.
We possibly could see this set in a future gift-with-purchase promotion like with the Swing Ship Ride (5006746) which was a Children’s Day promo but the tile changed to Leg Godt to appeal to a more wider audience. We shall see.
