Our Verdict: A beloved classic, but LEGO retired the entire Mindstorms line in December 2022 after 24 years. SPIKE Prime is now LEGO's recommended robotics platform. Remaining stock may be found at secondary market prices.

⚠ Note: LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor has been discontinued. LEGO officially retired the entire Mindstorms product line in December 2022 after 24 years, shifting its robotics education focus to the SPIKE Prime platform. The Mindstorms app remains functional for existing owners but receives no further updates.

LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor continued the legendary Mindstorms legacy with five pre-designed robots and infinite custom creations. The intelligent hub connected to motors and sensors via six ports, and the 949-piece set provided ample building material.

Both Scratch-based Word Blocks and Python programming were supported through the Mindstorms app. For those seeking a current LEGO robotics platform, the SPIKE Prime set is the recommended alternative.
