Lego has unveiled a series of new Star Wars Smart Play sets, expanding its innovative line of interactive building experiences. These sets, including the Millennium Falcon, Luke’s Landspeeder, and Mos Eisley Cantina, are priced more affordably than previous models. However, they notably exclude the Smart Brick—a crucial component that enables the interactive features of the Smart Play system. (brickfanatics.com)
The Smart Play system, introduced at CES 2026, centers around the Smart Brick, a compact 2x4 Lego piece embedded with advanced technology such as sensors, a speaker, and wireless charging capabilities. This brick interacts with Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures to bring creations to life with sounds and behaviors, enhancing the play experience without the need for screens or external devices.

The new sets are designed to be compatible with the Smart Play system, featuring Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures that can interact with a separately purchased Smart Brick. This approach allows Lego to offer these sets at a lower price point, making them more accessible to a broader audience. For instance, Luke’s Landspeeder is priced at $39.99, while the Millennium Falcon is available for $99.99. (brickfanatics.com)
To fully experience the interactive features, enthusiasts will need to purchase one of the All-in-One Smart Play sets, which include the Smart Brick. These sets, such as Luke’s Red Five X-Wing, Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter, and the Throne Room Duel & A-Wing, are priced between $69.99 and $159.99 and are available for pre-order starting January 9, 2026, with deliveries commencing on March 1, 2026.

This strategy allows Lego to cater to both new customers seeking affordable entry points and dedicated fans desiring the full interactive experience. The modular nature of the Smart Play system ensures that all components are compatible, enabling users to mix and match sets to create personalized, interactive Lego creations.
