I think this LEGO isn't properly named, because "MetalBeard's Heavy Metal Motor Trike" does not male much sense. This is MetalBeard as a Heavy Metal Motor Trike, He IS the motorcycle. The color scheme is amazing and a great and fun building process

As usual MetalBeard has one of the better builds from The LEGO Movie. This trike screams awesome, the design is great, the extra touches look phenomenal and the size of this trike is huge. Plus for all of those builders who whine about stickers, they will be relieved that there are none in this set. Very happy I made this purchase.

Recommendation: meh 84 / 100 by John

MetalBeard sets have proven to be quite popular, with the Sea Cow still high up on my LEGO bucket list. They're wacky, with a good chunk of steampunk and craziness mixed in, and a dash of shark on top. This is one set you'll want to have in your collection. It may go up in price when it retires, but I don't think it will, as it's quite high already, but it sure is a fun one.

The buggy sports durable, rubber tires that allow for a smooth ride on all surfaces. These are perfect for the LEGO movie 2 fans in your home.

Recommendation: meh by Adam White

This is an odd set, as it doesn't feel or look that big when building it. The finished build looks great and it's a unique take on the character, but when compared to say Emmet's House, a set with the same price point, this feels has it should be a little cheaper or at least feature a random piece of scenery or more characters. However I still quite like it, in particular how the build maintains similarities with other versions of MetalBeard, making it feel like you've take his original form and transformed him into another. Benny is also a big draw, especially if you want to collect all characters in all their varients. It's a fun build, with limited play features but visually fun, with a great use of parts.

Recommendation: meh by Graham

This is a big, fun, chunky motor trike that makes the absolutely bonkers concept work, genuinely looking like something that could have turned up in Mad Max: Fury Road – if George Miller had been even more out there with his designs.
