Thoroughly disappointed
on March 3, 2026
Posted by: Jazzbuilder
Took a big chance and purchased this set for my Grandson to play with. He is still too young to build but loves to play pretend and thought the interactions would be fun for him. I built the set which was average at best and attached the smart brick., The god awful sounds that came out of this thing still haunt my ears writing this. The worst part is swooshing it makes it sound like a broken speaker instead of real tie fighter zoom sounds that literally everyone connects with. The “Vader” sounds are comically bad in person as well. I am a seasoned LEGO guy and I watched all the videos about this but thought maybe I would be surprised with the feedback play. I was not and I am embarrassed I fell for it to be honest. This is a potentially great idea that was executed poorly and I think I am not alone. Anyway, hate to be so negative because I genuinely LOVE LEGO but I don’t love this at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fun for 7 year old

Yes, the sounds aren’t the greatest, but my son loves it! He was flying around the house shooting everything :). We did get him some smart brick compatible sets. I wish those came with a brick or Lego should start selling the smart brick individually
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible

No one over seven would like these if they have watched star wars. Stop this trash smart play and go back to normal Lego star wars. Multiple kids I know and myself think this is stupid. It's for only little kids I guess. But just don't make anymore Lego. Talk about promoting imagination by the way. The one toy that doesn't involve tech and used to be fun has now been taken over. Get rid of your AI generated sounds and "interactive" features.

My son is beyond obsessed with this set and also has the falcon which he can use the brick with. He literally cannot stop talking about it and playing with it. Adults are nitpicking every thing about it but as a kid (whom it’s for lol) he LOVES it.

Don't listen to the negative reviews
on March 2, 2026

I bought this set for my son and he absolutely loved it. Please don't listen to these negative reviews posted about the Smart Play sets. These are designed for children but there are grown adults leaving critical reviews and nitpicking the most miniscule of details. Is it perfect? No. But remember, these sets are designed for KIDS. They're fine for what they are.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I strongly dislike the smart brick sets. This whole wave is a swing and miss Lego but I believe u can bounce back. However, these sets are truly awful like this tie fighter is missing its entire backside lol. If earth Vader was flying thjs he would just get sucked into the vacuum of space. Not trying to hate on Lego, just please do better and listen to the Lego Star Wars community in the future.

Overpriced.for 2 figs one smart,vader should at least sound like himself,the sounds for the build as well.Plaese lego just make the compatible sets normally priced and the smart bricks slightly more expensive.please lego lowered the praises and fix sounds and build.In conclusion this smart play system was better that I thought but lacks accuracy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Darth vader's smar play tie review
on March 1, 2026
Posted by: lightning101 on youtube
It is not as bad as I thought, the smart brick is pretty cool but the only real reason I bought this was for the cheapest way to get the brick. Not worth the money if you are a collector.
