Lego Unveils Revolutionary Smart Brick Capable of Bringing Lego Sets to Life

The Lego Group is set to revolutionize its iconic bricks with the introduction of a smart brick, a tiny computer embedded in a classic 2×4 Lego brick. Scheduled to start shipping in March 2026, this innovation promises to transform the way children and adults interact with Lego sets, making them come alive with interactive elements such as lightsabers, engines, blasters, and music. The smart brick’s capabilities will be triggered by NFC-equipped tags embedded in new Lego tiles and minifigures, or when it detects other Smart Bricks. This technology enables the creation of immersive play experiences, taking the traditional building blocks to a whole new level. The introduction of Smart Bricks marks a significant milestone for the company, promising a future where Lego sets can be reimagined with cutting-edge innovation and interactivity. This breakthrough development is expected to mark a major evolution in Lego’s 50-year history, offering endless possibilities for creative expression and entertainment. With its integration into new Lego Star Wars sets, this smart brick technology is poised to redefine the way we experience and engage with popular franchises like Star Wars.
