“Pirates” - In a rocky cove on the edge of Gnarled Forest, pirates offload cargo from their ship and ponder how it came to be stuck in a tree.
“Battle” - Minifigs take on a hostile robotic creature, while in the background, evidence of a breakout signals that a potentially greater menace awaits.
“Build Challenge” - In Gnarled Forest, minifigs prepare to cross a broken bridge that stands high over a menacing ravine. Tension and excitement build as they work together to problem-solve and repair the collapsed overpass.
