Hi Michael, just like you, I also bought The Islander one and 6286 Red Beard
Runner. Though I have not yet bough the Armada Flagship but I will buy it.
The Spaniards mini-fig is that set is a quite different to those of the
Imperial Guards released earlier.

Vow, totally agree!!! I always dream of the Eldorado Fortress, it's simply
so beautiful. At the time it was first released in 1989 (or 1990?), I was
still collecting the Castles. And coz I was only a junior college student at
that time and the set costs around US$65, I just could not afford it. I
regret very much.

Too bad I already got the 6073. But personally I really don''t think it's a
top set. 6080 or 6085 is a lot better.
