Lego Smart Bricks were announced at CES 2026 — and the first sets are already on sale

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is always a hotbed of innovation, but this year's announcements might have stolen the show: Lego has revealed its new smart bricks, and we're excited to see what builders can create with them.

These intelligent building blocks use tiny sensors to detect motion, light, and color, allowing users to add interactive elements to their creations. Imagine a Lego castle that changes color when you walk past it or one that plays music when you press a button. The possibilities are endless!

The first sets featuring the new smart bricks have already gone on sale, with prices ranging from $50 to over $200. While they're not cheap, for serious Lego fans and makers, these building blocks could be just what they need to take their creations to the next level.

What can you build with Lego Smart Bricks?

• Interactive displays that change color or pattern in response to movement
• Sensors that track and display data, like temperature or humidity levels
• Music-activated models that bring a new level of engagement to your creations
• Motion-detecting security systems for the ultimate Lego fortress

The new smart bricks have been met with enthusiasm from fans and critics alike, and we're eager to see what amazing projects they inspire. Will you be among them? Share your own creations in the comments below!
