Be the First to Get Your Hands on Lego Smart Blocks Before This Preorder Sells Out

LEGO's new Smart Play sets include iconic Star Wars models with interactive lights and sounds using patented Smart Brick technology, priced between £34.99 and £89.99.

  • On March 1, 2026, LEGO announced five new Star Wars Smart Play sets, including the Millennium Falcon, revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair and introduced by Anthony Daniels, actor who plays C-3PO, with pre-orders available now.
  • According to LEGO, the Smart Play platform combines Smart Bricks, Smart Minifigures and Smart Tags and uses more than 20 patented technologies with sensors and speakers to produce real-time sounds and lights.
  • Headlined by an 885-piece Millennium Falcon at $99.99, the wave also includes Luke's Landspeeder , AT-ST Attack on Endor , Yoda's Hut and Jedi Training , and Mos Eisley Cantina .
  • However, none of the new sets includes a Smart Brick, and buyers must purchase an All-In-One set like Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, adding at least a $70 extra cost to unlock interactivity.
  • Critics warned of sticker shock at the $40 entry price and urged LEGO to sell Smart Bricks and chargers separately, while analysts expect the tech may expand beyond Star Wars in coming years.
