LEGO 21123 “The Iron Golem” is a Minecraft set released in 2016 with 208 pieces.
Set 21123 belongs to the LEGO Minecraft theme, which translates the game’s block based environments and creatures into brick form. “The Iron Golem” focuses on a familiar type of Minecraft encounter, placing a player character, a hostile mob and the protective golem in the same scene.
With 208 pieces, the model is compact and focused rather than a large display build. Its squared shapes and simplified construction style match the visual language associated with Minecraft.
The set suits play, a small shelf display or a Minecraft character focused collection. Within the theme, it can be understood as a scene based box that adds a self contained encounter, useful alongside larger environments or as a standalone representation of the Iron Golem concept.
