Lego’s Smart Brick is here, and it transforms these new Star Wars sets

Lego launches the Smart Brick, a small computer built into a 2x4 brick, enabling new interactive experiences in Star Wars sets.
Three of eight Star Wars sets include the Smart Brick at launch, with others being compatible or BYOB.
Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter is the cheapest set with a Smart Brick at $70, while Throne Room Duel & A-Wing costs $159.99 with two Smart Bricks.
Lego awarded the Smart Brick 'best in show' at CES 2026 for its potential.
Eight Star Wars sets will support the Smart Brick at launch, with more to come in later releases.
Smart Brick interaction depends on owning the brick; NFC tags and smart minifigs require the brick for full functionality.
Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter includes one Smart Brick and one NFC tag in the kit.
Luke’s Red Five X-Wing and other sets vary in piece count but feature Smart Brick integration.
Some sets in the lineup are 'Smart Play compatible' only and do not include the Smart Brick.
The Verge notes ongoing availability and future announcements for more sets and features.
Price range for sets with Smart Brick spans from $50 to $160, depending on the model.
