As we discussed at the beginning of the month, the first LEGO SMART Play sets are now available. The LEGO SMART Play system consists of SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures that activate SMART Bricks for responsive play. The SMART Play system reacts to how you move, play, twist, and turn the sets.
Currently, only LEGO Star Wars setsfeature the LEGO SMART Play technology. So far, there are eight sets in the collection, ranging in price between $40 and $160. We discussed these sets previously (see links at the end of this post), and you can find them at the LEGO SMART Play section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Some LEGO fans have already built and tested the new sets, and many more are curious about them. However, because the technology is new and the prices are quite high, it’s worth watching a few hands-on reviews before making a decision about getting them. Below, I will include a couple of video-reviews from JANGBRiCKS, demonstrating how the sets work.
As you can see, the sets and the LEGO SMART Play technology have some pluses and minuses. The sound effects are rough, and the play-features aren’t always intuitive, but several of the designs are quite nice, smaller-scale Star Wars sets. If you do want to check them out, make sure to get at least one set that contains a SMART Brick so you can activate all the features. They are available now at the LEGO SMART Play section of the Online LEGO Shop.
