LEGO Creator 3in1 79008-1 Pirate Ship Ambush turns a classic pirate ship into a full adventure build with three different models from the same bricks. The main ship includes adjustable sails, a moving anchor, a working ship's wheel, two cannons and a sea monster with movable tentacles. Inside the vessel are a cabin with desk and chair, a hidden treasure chest compartment, a crow's nest and a removable deck section that reveals the hold. The alternate builds change the story into a pirate castle with tower, pier, palm tree, rooms and cave, or two smaller ships ready for a duel at sea.
