Great unboxing review, thanks for taking the time to do this. I look forward to receiving the kit over the next couple of weeks.
As for the wayward island part. The placement probably has to do with mold flow. With modern mold analysis tools, parts get put in what seem to be weird places. In the good old days we just jacked up the pressure, which created the flashing we used to see with kits. Such as your favorite seam line on the bottom of the hull. Flashing is a bit a thing of the past, but part placement and sprue shape and size takes on some oddities.
Enjoy the build,
Bill
