Launching 1st March 2026 and available to pre-order from 9th January, this is LEGO SMART Play which offers new play options for builders and anyone who wants to do more with their LEGO than just build and display. Unveiled earlier today at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, this new system is the most significant advancement in LEGO play since the introduction of the mini figure back in 1978, and includes four key elements – the LEGO SMART Brick, LEGO SMART Tags and LEGO SMART Minifigures. The fourth element is imagination, which isn’t included, but is essential. Asad Ayaz (Chief Brand Officer of The Walt Disney Company and President of Disney Entertainment Marketing) and Dave Filoni (Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm) came onstage to announce that the first LEGO SMART Play building sets will feature Star Wars.
What is LEGO SMART Play™?
The new platform features more than twenty patented world-firsts within its technology, and the LEGO SMART Brick – at the heart of the platform – is powered by a custom-made chip, measuring smaller than a standard LEGO stud.
The technology has been developed by the LEGO Group’s Creative Play Lab team to enable responsive physical play, breathing new life into builder’s LEGO creations through advanced, invisible technology.
The LEGO SMART Brick is packed with technologies that bring play to life including sensors, accelerometers, light sensing and a sound sensor as well as a miniature speaker driven by an onboard synthesiser, and much more, in addition to easy wireless charging.
LEGO SMART Tags and LEGO SMART Minifigures are paired with the LEGO SMART Brick to power the system and allow builders’ creations to become interactive, responding to actions with appropriate sounds and behaviours, allowing for a truly responsive play experience. All elements are compatible with the existing LEGO System-in-Play.
