The new Star Wars sets, which incorporate Smart tech, might be cool — but fans are not abiding by the rising costs of basic sets or Lego's direction

The humble Lego brick is having a dramatic technological makeover that could transform how kids – and a fair few adults – play with the iconic toy.

The Lego Group unveiled its new SMART Play bricks at CES, the first building sets, featuring Star Wars, are expected to launch in March.
