Bricklink had the prices up for Series 8 earlier today. 

I can't see them any more, is it just me?

For the record, US prices were as below, but it's Euro prices I'm looking for

Brick Railroad Locomotive - 1,428 Pieces - $119.99

Coconut Cape - 2425 Pieces - $209.98

Dustmark Keep - 4,000 Pieces - $349.99

University of Science - 3,995 Pieces - $359.99

It says the final designs will be announced on the 11th of may so the prices probably won't be up till then

Interesting, must have been an error. They were certainly there at one stage!

A bit steeper than I was hoping for. As much as I thought this might be a multi-purchase round, maybe I'll be just getting the balloon.

Yes, that feels on the high side, but so many of them are large models. Will be interesting to see the finalized designs.

The price, parts count, and minifig count of Coconut Cape is very similar to the Eldorado Fortress. I'm looking forward to getting it as the "Eldorado Fortress" to go with the Fortuna. I like it quite a bit better than the actual Eldorado Fortress set. It's a cleaner build, it's more modular so it's easier to build and rebuild, and it's not hampered by the need to brick-build an old raised baseplate.

Aren't the next BDP sets going on sale the second week or so of this coming June? I wonder if sales will be slower, considering we will be having a lot of much-awaited mainstream Lego releases on June 1st.

It is same as each year. Series 5 were scheduled at the exact same time and had the all-time record selling set of 49.000.

I think this series will sell out like the last one. It might even have the opposite problem, as it has strong contenders. If all the sets will be trending fine, there might be no space for adjusting the allocations.

So far there has been no correlation between sales and the calendar.
