More Star Wars Lego Smart Brick-compatible sets have just been announced for March.

The self-contained, sensor-studded Lego Smart Bricks I saw in person a few weeks ago looked like a Star Wars Lego fan's dream. Lego hasn't even released those sets yet, but it has just announced more are coming this year.

A handful of new brick sets that work with the smart brick-focused Smart Play system were announced in Germany today at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Like the first few sets revealed in Las Vegas at CES, they're all based on the classic Star Wars trilogy.

There's a Millennium Falcon set, a Landspeeder set, a Mos Eisley Cantina set, a Yoda training set on Dagobah and an AT-ST Endor set. The newly announced sets, ranging from $40 to $100, feature compatible Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures but don't include the necessary Smart Bricks, which charge wirelessly and activate all the sounds and lights when in close proximity.

Pre-Order for $40 at Lego

To get those bricks, you still need to buy one of the other sets -- or wait for Lego to sell them separately.

These sets are coming on March 1, all at once. It'll be a lot of interconnected, motion-enabled Star Wars content, and I'm extremely curious to see how it all works together. It's only about a month away, so hang tight and save up your Lego money.
