LEGO set 70810, “MetalBeard's Sea Cow”, represents MetalBeard’s ship from The LEGO Movie theme. Released in 2014, it contains 2743 pieces and presents a large seafaring model tied directly to the film’s setting and characters.

The model focuses on MetalBeard’s ship within The LEGO Movie range. Its subject combines pirate imagery with the film’s deliberately mixed LEGO world, where space, fantasy, city, and adventure elements can appear together through the same story and cast.

The build uses 2743 pieces to create a substantial ship model with a tall profile, deck areas, and nautical detailing suited to the character’s vessel.

Because of its size and recognisable subject, the set works for display as well as character driven play based on The LEGO Movie. Within the theme, it stands apart from smaller scene based sets by concentrating on a single large vehicle and by bringing several central characters together around it.
