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.
