Mindstorms is not going away, but may continue to evolve. Like all technology products, Mindstorms will continue to grow and improve as consumers gain new technology knowledge and technology itself continues to get better and smaller.

On behalf of rtlToronto, I want to thank you for keeping all of us us in the loop. We don’t get too worked up over the usual Lego rumours up here (“Oh no, the new grey causes cancer, etc”) but this one is very important to us.
