The final BrickLink Series 8 LEGO set sales numbers are in

Crowdfunding has closed on Series 8 of the BrickLink Designer Program, and the final sales numbers for its five fan-designed LEGO sets are in. Here’s how they stack up to previous rounds…

Pre-orders for Dustmark Keep, Coconut Cape, Brick Railroad Locomotive, University of Science and Hot Air Balloon wrapped up at 9pm BST last night (June 18), concluding Series 8 of the BrickLink Designer Program. And thanks to the source code at BrickLink, we can calculate the final sales numbers for the entire quintet of limited-edition LEGO sets.

Series 8 set Price Maximum allocation Number pre-ordered Estimated value of pre-orders
Dustmark Keep £319.99 / $349.99 / €349.99 40,000 35,321 £10.7m / $11.7m / €11.7m
University of Science £329.99 / $359.99 / €359.99 30,000 22,111 £6.7m / $7.5m / €7.5m
Brick Railroad Locomotive £109.99 / $119.99 / €119.99 30,000 24,752 £2.5m / $2.8m / €2.8m
Coconut Cape £189.99 / $209.99 / €209.99 30,000 25,245 £4.5m / $5m / €5m
Hot Air Balloon £69.99 / $79.99 / €79.99 30,000 21,180 £1.4m / $1.6m / €1.6m

These numbers have jumped considerably over the past 24 hours pretty much across the board, pointing to a flurry of last-minute orders just before the deadline.

Dustmark Keep is the clear winner again, as is often the case for castle-themed BrickLink Designer Program sets, at 35,321 pre-orders – but this is the first time every single model has surpassed 20,000 sales in a single series, pointing to the overall strength of this selection.

Dustmark Keep is the third-best-selling castle-themed set so far (or fourth if you consider Adventure in Transylvania medieval), although that obviously comes with the caveat that the first four series’ sets were capped at 30,000 pre-orders each. Who knows where Mountain Fortress or Siege Encampment would have ended up in this list under the current dynamic production allocation model?

The pirates-themed Coconut Cape couldn’t quite hit the heights of Thieves of Tortuga or Privateer Frigate Fortuna, meanwhile, but it did outsell Series 2’s Ominous Isle. And University of Science sold favourably compared to previous modular-adjacent buildings such as The Art Factory and Parisian Street, but lagged behind Brick Cross Train Station and Sushi Restaurant.

Next up for the BrickLink Designer Program is Series 9’s crowdfunding phase, which gets underway on October 7, 2026 at 9am PT / 5pm BST. Check out all five sets in that round by heading here.

Series 11’s finalists will also be revealed on June 20 through a livestream on BrickLink’s YouTube channel at 7pm BST. Tune into that one via this link or check back with Brick Fanatics for the results as soon as they’re revealed.
