"The Smart Brick functions as a tiny standalone computer that can be integrated into Lego builds to add interactive lighting and sounds. It features LEDs, a speaker, a mic, wireless connectivity, and a small collection of sensors that can detect movements, light, and gestures. It can recognize Lego's new Smart Tags and figures through their embedded NFC tags which trigger unique sounds or lighting effects based on which ones are nearby."
"The cheapest set is the $69.99, 473-piece Smart Play: Darth Vader's TIE Fighter that includes one Smart Brick, one Smart Tag, and a Smart Darth Vader minifigure. The $89.99 SMART Play: Luke's Red Five X-Wing is a 581-piece set that pairs the Smart Brick with five Smart Tags and Smart Luke and Leia figures. The most expensive option is the $159.99 Smart Play: Throne Room Duel & A-Wing."
