I am also surprised Royal Nest was the most voted castle. Most of the castle selections since series 6 are kinda unpredictable and dissapointing.

It wasn't necessarily the 'most voted'. 

It was likely the most voted at the 3000 piece count level, but there may have been more voted castles at 4000 pieces, or 2000 pieces.They can't just release five castles though :P they need to balance a few themes and this is what they figured worked alongside the other models.

Did anybody get the final sale numbers for this series?

Based on the percentages listed on https://bldp.pl/en/8?tab=info

Dustmark Keep 30,908/35,000

Coconut Cape 25,245/30,000

Brick Railroad Locomotive 24,753/30,000

Hot Air Balloon 21,180/30,000

University of Science 22,113/30,000

Is this the first time the lowest priced set sold the least amount?

I don't know the answer to your question @hrdknxbrix, but I do know I wanted to say thanks for posting these numbers!

From the same source, Yes it's the first time, but in series 7, W.A.L.T (smallest set, with 17516 units sold) ended just above Antique Collection (15327 units sold).

What do you all think of the new BL logo and box color change to blue and calling the next BDP sets Wave 1, 2, 3... instead of continuing the Series numbering? I find it a stupid decision and it completely ruins consistency for one of the best themes. And I bet this revamping will bring more rule changes and submission guidelines too, they just didn't want to spill the beans yet.

I don't love it, but I also don't really care that much. The box designs look a bit more 'modern take on a classic LEGO style', but given the 18+ black boxes, I don't see why they would do this.

The naming is an attempt to help people know when they will get their sets, but I suspect it will be very confusing when trying to buy the sets, when you're trying to buy something for 2028 in 2027.

Bricklink has never really been that consistent though. They had the AFOL Designer Program, the Bricklink Designer Program Rounds 1-3, the current Bricklink Design Program Series 1-11, then Bricklink Designer Program Year Waves 1-3.

The bigger question is why bother with the change? What was wrong with the old one and what makes the new one better? They claim that the logo is more scalable for some reason, but I don't really buy it.
