"The Smart Play system, Lego's newest venture, involves a Smart Brick, Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures. Each Smart Brick has proximity sensors, an accelerometer, a speaker and more. The Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures relay what's happening to the Brick. For example, if you whoosh a spaceship through the air, the Smart Brick should make a sound that imitates that. Vader, of course, also makes his deep breathing sound. Plus, it requires no screens or apps, so the fun remains in its true, tactical form."
"These sets join three initially announced Star Wars Smart Play ones: Darth Vader's TIE Fighter ($70), Luke's Red Five X-Wing ($90) and Throne Room Duel & A-Wing ($150). However, these three are "all-in-one" sets, meaning they come with the Smart Bricks. The newly announced options don't come with a Smart Brick, requiring an extra purchase, but will have the Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures that will know what to do."
Lego expanded its Smart Play system with five new Star Wars–themed sets now available for pre-order and shipping March 1. The Smart Play system centers on a Smart Brick equipped with proximity sensors, an accelerometer, a speaker and other sensors, while Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures relay actions to the Brick to trigger contextual sounds and responses without screens or apps. The new sets range from Luke's Landspeeder (215 pieces, $40) to the Millennium Falcon (885 pieces, $100). Previously announced all-in-one Star Wars sets include Smart Bricks; the newly announced sets require a separate Smart Brick purchase.
