Lego’s brand-new Star Wars Smart Play sets are up for preorder, and I’ve tried all 3

Lego’s first sets with Smart Bricks, Minifigures, and Tags might not be shipping until March 1, 2026, but if you’re already eager to make R2-D2 scream by flipping an X-Wing, hear the Imperial March as Vader approaches his Tie Fighter, or stage an epic lightsaber battle in the Throne Room, fear not, as preorders have started.

Whether you’re in the US, UK, or Australia, you can preorder any of the announced Lego Smart Play sets directly from the retailer. In the United States, preorders are also available on Amazon.

As a reminder, the line starts with the $69.99 / £59.99 / AU$99.99 Tie Fighter, moves to the $99.99 / £79.99 / AU$149.99 X-Wing, and tops out with the $159.99 / £139.99 / AU$249.99 Throne Room Duel and A-Wing.

You can see our deep dive into what Smart Play is here, as well as our first look at the forthcoming Star Wars sets here, but ahead, we’re giving you everything you need to know about how to lock in a preorder.

The entry-level Smart Play Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter is a pretty nice one that fans of the dark side will likely find most appealing. And this one should be an especially fun one to play with, at least from the demos I had with it.

For $69.99 / £59.99 / AU$99.99, you get one Smart Brick and the wireless charger for it, a Darth Vader Smart Minifigure, and a Smart Tag. You also get an additional Minifigure, and you’ll build the durable Tie Fighter – remember, it’s designed for play and battles – a Rebel Outpost, and a fueling station. In total, it’s 473 pieces.

It’s up for preorder at LEGO in the US, UK, and Australia, as well as Amazon in the United States.

It’s also available at Amazon in the United States here.

Lego Smart Play Luke’s Red Five X-Wing

Next is a personal favorite of mine – the Smart Play version of Luke’s Red Five X-Wing. For $99.99 / £79.99 / AU$149.99, you’ll get a single Smart Brick and charger, two Smart Minifigures – Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker – and five Smart Tags. Those tags are for R2-D2 – the most important one – the X-wing, an Imperial turret, a transporter, and the command center. This set features 581 pieces in total.

It’s up for preorder at Lego in the US, UK, and Australia, plus Amazon in the United States.

You can also preorder the X-Wing on Amazon in the US.

Lego Smart Play Throne Room Duel and A-Wing

Lego’s top-of-the-line Smart Play set at launch comes with a total of 962 pieces and brings a classic Star Wars set back to life. It’s of course the Throne Room Duel and A-Wing, and for the $159.99 / £139.99 / AU$249.99 price, you get the most Smart Play pieces as well.

Leading that is three Smart Minifigures – Emperor Palpatine, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader –, two Smart Bricks, and five Smart Tags. The latter ensures you can have a proper Lightsaber battle with two tags, plus ones for the A-wing, throne, and Death Star turret.

It’s available for preorder now from Lego in the US, UK, and Australia as well as Amazon in the United States.
