Coming soon? LEGO Friends Mindstorms set (April Fools joke)

[Coder Shah]

Would love to know your thoughts. Yes, it's fake, for April Fool's day, but the models are real and can be made using the SPIKE Prime set.

 

SPIKEZobo building instructions.

SPIKE Zobo drone building instructions

SPIKE Olivia's mission vehicle building instructions

Nice amount of work put into this one, I would have suspected a RI hub, when I saw the Spike hub it gave it away.

Nonetheless it would be awesome if Lego really would continue with the Mindstorms products.

You should've picked Nova.

Great idea, but it would be so much better if it were DOTS Friends Mindstorms, wouldn't it?

Spike hub has a heart when switched on :D. Fits better with the friends theme.

From what I can see, Nova doesn't build robots, she plays videogames.

First, there is no Mindstorms any more

Second, what would make it "Friends" specific?

And Third: Why?

April Fools' Day ?

Hahahahaha perhaps.

First, SPIKE Prime still exists.

Second, I was planning to do robots based on what was featured on the Friends 2018 Girls on a mission TV series (Zobo, Zobo drone mode, Zobo Segway mode, Mission vehicle) but I didn't have time. The guitar fits Andrea though.

Third, Because it's the first of April and I felt like having a bit of fun.

Incidentally, I'll be publishing building instructions for Zobo and Zobo Drone mode on my YouTube channel tomorrow. All you need to build them is the SPIKE Prime set. Might do the rest if I have time.

You could build all the models with the SPIKE Prime set. All LEGO has to do is to change the packaging, create the building instructions and do the program. I'd be more than happy to help them with that, as I've done it before for the Robot Inventor set with the LIGHTPLANE model.

But I guess they're more interested in USD500+ big honking display sets at present.
