Smart bricks is a waste of money just go get the retired version of this set. You can find it for cheaper than this garbage retails for and the figs and set is much higher quality.
Looks bad, sounds bad, priced badly. These sets are obviously for children, but it is so poorly done and has the smart play gimmick of these dumb bricks you have to charge, just dont buy it.
I haven’t seen my 6 year old son being excited about lego that much for a while. He has had bigger star wars sets before, but this new magic brick just makes it much more interactive and engaging to actually play with it after it’s built. I wish we could upgrade all of the other older sets with this feature.
This is a really good set, there is some pros and cons to those who are wondering about getting this. Pros first, there is LOTS of stuff you can do with the brick, 4 tiles! (Excluding R2-D2) I loved building it, as I love building sets better than playing with them. Also, how the Smart charger is wireless made my life so much easier. I also REALLY love how the Stormtrooper turret, when it knocks over it makes a explosion! Now cons, the set only having one brick with the 4 different things you can do with it aggravates me. The battery life is... somewhat good. It doesn't take long to charge, though. The wheels on the repair thing collect hair really easily, if you have cats then you will have to clean it out often. Also, when you have the Smart brick on the X-Wing, it flashes lights, which I find annoying at 2:39AM. That's it! I would recommend, but I wish they put 2 Smart bricks instead of 1.
