LEGO Star Wars Smart Play sets pre-order: Interactive bricks debut at CES 2026

LEGO just breathed life into plastic bricks. At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the Danish toy giant unveiled the LEGO Star Wars Smart Play sets, an interactive system that adds light, sound, and responsive behaviors to iconic builds. According to Mashable, these sets utilize a single 'Smart Brick' to transform static models into dynamic playsets that react to motion and touch.

The LEGO Star Wars Smart Play sets Lineup and Pricing

The new lineup features three distinct Star Wars scenes, each offering different levels of complexity and interaction. The flagship set, the Throne Room Duel and A-Wing, comes with 962 pieces and is priced at $159.99. This set recreates the legendary battle from 'Return of the Jedi' with realistic lightsaber humming and five interactive Smart Tags.

For fans of starfighters, the Luke’s Red Five X-Wing (581 pieces) is available for $89.99. It features authentic engine revs and repair noises triggered by the Smart Brick. Meanwhile, the most affordable entry is Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter, priced at $69.99 with 473 pieces. This set includes motion-activated laser-shooting sounds and fueling effects.

Smart Features and Release Timeline

The core of this experience is the Smart Brick, which boasts a battery life of roughly 45 minutes per charge. LEGO includes a charger with each set to ensure the play continues. These sets are designed for builders aged 8 and up, bridging the gap between traditional play and modern technology. All three sets are scheduled for release on March 1, 2026, and pre-orders are currently open on Amazon.
