New Lego Star Wars Smart Play sets just dropped — preorders are live at Amazon
Where to pre-order Lego Star Wars Smart Play sets:
CES is always one of the most exciting weeks in tech. This year we’ve had announcements about new smart glasses, a $9,000 smart handbag, and lots of robots. But on a more practical level, we’ve enjoyed a major upgrade from Lego with the arrival of the Lego Smart Play sets.
We didn’t need another reason to be obsessed with building Lego sets, but the Danish brand went ahead and provided it. The Lego Smart Play system introduces an interactive aspect to a build with sounds, lights and behaviors that add a new layer of fun. Plus, all you need to enter this new realm is a single Smart Play Brick.
Timothy Beck Werth, editor-in-chief of Mashable Tech, attended the Lego announcement before the official CES kickoff in Las Vegas. Lego showed off the highlights of the new smart bricks and Beck Werth wrote: “With just one smart brick, the CES demo brought Lego creations, characters and playsets to life. Lego cars revved their engines, a Lego duck even quacked and snored when placed on its side, and a Lego plane pilot exclaimed “woah!” be knocked down. »
Lucky for us Star Wars fans, the new Smart Play debuts with a Star Wars theme. All three versions launch on the first two days of March and they are all available for pre-order on Amazon. Here are the details.
Lego Star Wars Smart Play: Throne Room Duel and A-Wing
The largest Lego Star Wars Smart Play build takes us back to an iconic scene from Return of the Jedi. The 962-piece Lego Star Wars Smart Play: Duel in the Throne Room and A-Wing recreates Luke Skywalker’s legendary lightsaber battle with Darth Vader. But unlike a standard Lego build, this Smart Play set will buzz just like a real lightsaber battle would. The set also comes with five Lego Smart Tags which add to the interactive experience with additional lights and sounds.

Lego Star Wars Smart Play: Luke’s Red Five X-Wing
