What even is a smart brick?

A smart brick is a new LEGO invention that… I'm not really sure how it works, but only a couple of these sets (the more expensive ones) come with them. There is some kind of software in the brick and you have to keep it charged with electricity and you also have to keep it updated over the Internet. The smart brick is what allows the interactivity.

So if you want your Jigglypuff concert to be interactive, you have to buy the expensive Pikachu or Charizard set. They don't sell the smart bricks individually.

Sounds like a gimmick.

I mean I never said I dislike it I am not very fond of gimmicks, I have never seen it so when I get one I'll say if it's good or bad.

I have no idea what they're like, but I know that acquiring them is artificially expensive.

Lights and sound and a compromised build for 20 bucks, please financial breakdown BSDuck noises

The price is the big reason for me, but also the fact that they say it’s like the biggest invention ever, and it’s just lights and sounds. There’s a few other reasons too, but I can’t explain everything.
