Overview
- Smart Play centers on a standard 2x4-style Smart Brick that houses an accelerometer, light and sound sensors, a mini speaker and a custom LEGO ASIC to trigger contextual lights and audio.
- The system pairs Smart Bricks with Smart Tags and Smart minifigures so builds react to motion and placement without apps or screens, preserving hands-on play and full brick compatibility.
- LEGO highlights wireless charging and local, private operation; reporting also describes spatial awareness and a proprietary positioning approach enabling multi-brick interactions.
- The launch lineup features three LEGO Star Wars sets: Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter (US$69), Luke’s Red Five X-Wing (US$89) and Throne Room Duel & A‑Wing (US$159.99), each including a Smart Brick, Smart Tags and at least one Smart minifigure.
- Some connectivity and charging specifics vary across reports, but LEGO confirms the screenless design and the March 1 availability following the January 9 preorder start.
