Another vote for Lagoon Lockup. So many good sets. I'd take any of these, but I already have the 1st three from when i was a kid. I don't have any Islander sets, so King Kahuka's Throne or Islander Catamaran would be my 2nd and 3rd choices.

I see a crossbow, but i thought it was the old one. Agreed, we were never mean to see the prelims and if they weren't leaked and this came out of the blue, then I think the response would have been far more positive. I really like it as it is, although, I feel it does lack a couple of large and medium animals. Will definitely get this but can wait and hopefully there will be a related GWP in the near future.

I think you can sometimes find chickens in the Build-a-Minifg section if you have a store nearby that has a BAM. In Australia, the brown chicken comes with a Ninjago style BAM online, which usually means you can get them in store.

Very nice. He looks great.

The goat in a CMF? Thats fantastic. That will be the hardest CMF to get from that batch, Thanks for the news. Edit: Just saw the pics. Wow!

Just ordered this with the current bonuses. I also bought 7016 and a few extra vikings from bricklink to create a clan. My castle set up is going to raided by the Norse.

Lady Anchor's torso can be found on this BAM minifig in Australia https://lego.bricksmegastore.com/collections/lego-build-a-minifigure-3-pack

The last time I tried, I split the torso, so won't do it again. The blue or grey legs would make him much closer to the original, but worried about breaking something, so won't risk swapping the arms.

All the bits finally arrived. My new merchant sailor.

Yeah, thats also on the list of must haves. I've already bought a handful of extra viking minifigs from bricklink to add to the set. Just waiting for the right GWPs to get buy these.

Congrats to eveyone who entered, especially the 4 winners. All worthy choices. It was a fun and learning experience for me and only the 2nd MOC i've completed. Now I have to go out and actually buy Eldorado Fortress as my plan to win it didn't really play out as I'd hoped.

Oh yeah, can't have flesh neck. Theres been a few I've discounted cause of that. Argus Filch is great, I hadn't see that one. Thanks for the tip.

Thats a good point. I am going to put together my own merchant sailor for the ship and I'm trying to work out what torso part to use. I have been considering ones from mainly Harry Potter sets like Newt Scamander (dim034 or hp165), Horace Slughorn (hp171 or hp230), Ron weasley (hp185) or even this little guy from LotR (lor111). Any thoughts or suggestions?

Some fantastic designs by everyone. I found it very hard to narrow it down to just 5 in each category In the end, I picked sets that I feel looked more like sets Lego would design, rather than ones that felt more like Ideas sets.
