Wait is it dead? I wanted one 10 years ago, but I never got one, cuz it was too expensive (arduino became an alrernative later but havent tried to build ~anything).

From Wikipedia

Lego Mindstorms [...] is a discontinued line of educational kits for building programmable robots based on Lego bricks. It was introduced on 1 September 1998 and was discontinued on 31 December 2022.

Holy ... that sounds like cashing in for christmas 2022 and then just dropping all support, including addons and the (required!) software.
