LEGO SMART Play Platform Revealed at CES 2026

by

At CES 2026, LEGO introduced SMART Play, a new system that adds interactive features to LEGO builds, making them more dynamic and engaging.

LEGO is famous for creating building sets based on popular franchises like video games and movies. They’ve recently released sets inspired by Nintendo’s Game Boy and The Legend of Zelda. But their newest announcement isn’t another set – it’s a whole new system that will change how LEGO sets are built and played.

LEGO SMART Play Will Introduce SMART Bricks, SMART Tags, and SMART Minifigures

LEGO recently announced LEGO SMART Play, a new system packed with innovative technology – including over twenty unique, patented features. At its core is the LEGO SMART Brick, which uses a special chip to make playtime more interactive. This brick is equipped with sensors that detect movement, light, and sound, and even includes a built-in speaker for creating sounds. Plus, it charges wirelessly for easy use.

LEGO SMART Tags and Minifigures work together with SMART Bricks to react to players’ actions with sounds and movements. LEGO SMART Play will become available on March 1, 2026, starting with LEGO Star Wars sets.

LEGO Smart-Play Star Wars Sets Revealed

LEGO has announced three new ‘All-In-One’ Star Wars sets. These sets include a LEGO SMART Brick with a charger, plus at least one LEGO SMART Minifigure and a LEGO SMART tag.

  • First is LEGO Star Wars SMART Play Luke’s Red Five X-Wing, which is a 584-piece set that includes two SMART Minifigures (Luke Skywalker, in his iconic pilot suit, and Princess Leia), as well as Luke’s trusty companion, R2-D2, and Rebel Crew and Stormtrooper Minifigures. Players can expect interactive features such as laser shooting, engine, refueling, and repair sounds & lights.
  • The second one is LEGO Star Wars SMART Play Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter, a 473-piece set featuring SMART Minifigures of Darth Vader and a Rebel Fleet Trooper. The SMART Play features will bring “the roar of the twin ion engines comes to life.”
  • Last but not least is the LEGO Star Wars SMART Play Throne Room Duel & A-Wing, a 962-piece set that includes SMART Minifigures of Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and Luke Skywalker (Jedi). The set also features a brick-built A-Wing Fighter and Pilot Minifigure, two Royal Guard Minifigures, and a SMART Tag-enabled cannon turret. The SMART features also include Lightsaber hums and The Imperial March.
