Notify all orders: Lego unveiled five new compatible Star Wars Smart Play sets at the Nuremberg Toy Fair today (Jan. 27), including an 885-piece Millennium Falcon set with four Smart Minifigures. The sets range from $39.99 to $99.99 and will launch on March 1 alongside three previously announced “All-In-One” Star Wars Smart Play sets, more than doubling the lineup.
Pre-orders are now live through the Lego Store and third-party retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
Notably, Best Buy implemented a reservation system for its pre-orders due to high demand. Buyers must create an account, confirm their location, and wait in line for account and inventory verification to purchase any sets. At the time of writing, I waited 20 minutes trying to add the Millennium Falcon set to my cart before giving up.

Lego first unveiled its Smart Play interactive platform at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in early January. The system revolves around a 2 x 4 “Smart Brick” filled with sensors that make Smart Minifigures and Smart Tags react to movement and position, generating lights and sounds.
Buyers should note that the five sets are new don’t do it insert the Smart Brick or its charger, which is required to make them work. (With the exception of the Smart Brick, these are just regular Lego builds.) Since Lego doesn’t sell the Smart Brick itself, you’ll need to buy one of the three All-In-One sets it includes:
