Alliance Entertainment has announced the official launch of Alliance Authentic, a new premium platform built to create authentic, certified, investment-grade vinyl collectibles and a trusted marketplace where collectors can buy, sell, and trade them globally.
Designed for the growing global market for collectibles, Alliance Authentic has introduced The Ultimate Vinyl Collectible – uncirculated vinyl records that are authenticated at the source, released as limited collectible editions, permanently encapsulated, digitally verified, and individually numbered. Each collectible allows fans and collectors to own a piece of vinyl history, preserved exactly as it existed at the moment of release.
This initial release:
Every Alliance Authentic collectible is purchased directly from music labels and authorized distributors.
Each record is certified uncirculated, never handled, played, or sold prior to encapsulation.
Each Alliance Authentic release is produced as a defined, limited collectible edition, with every individual vinyl permanently numbered at the time of encapsulation.
Once an edition is released, it is never reproduced.
Each Alliance Authentic collectible is sonically sealed in an acrylic case, creating a permanent seal designed to preserve condition and presentation over the long term.
Alliance Authentic has also developed premium presentation packaging.
Every Alliance Authentic collectible includes an embedded digital NFC chip powered by Endstate. Using blockchain infrastructure built on Base, each collectible’s authenticity and ownership history is recorded in a tamper-resistant database tied directly to the physical item.
While this announcement focuses on vinyl records, you can easily see this service expanded to other collectibles. It’s an interesting addition to that market, especially when there’s some consolidation within it.

At CES, LEGO revealed Smart Play, a new tech infused way to play with LEGO. The systems is powered by LEGO Smart Brick, a new type of brick that features a microchip smaller than a stud on the brick.
LEGO Smart Play launches March 1, 2026 starting with a galaxy far, far away and new Star Wars sets.
The system features the LEGO Smart Brick, LEGO Smart Tags, and LEGO Smart Minifigures that interact with each other with sounds, lights, and more.
The new platform features more than twenty patented world-firsts within its technology, and the LEGO SMART Brick – at the heart of the platform – is powered by a custom-made chip, measuring smaller than a standard LEGO stud.
The technology has been developed by the LEGO Group’s Creative Play Lab team to enable responsive physical play, breathing new life into builder’s LEGO creations through advanced, invisible technology.
The LEGO SMART Brick is packed with technologies that bring play to life including sensors, accelerometers, light sensing and a sound sensor as well as a miniature speaker driven by an onboard synthesiser, and much more, in addition to easy wireless charging.
LEGO SMART Tags and LEGO SMART Minifigures are paired with the LEGO SMART Brick to power the system and allow builders’ creations to become interactive, responding to actions with appropriate sounds and behaviors, allowing for a truly responsive play experience. All elements are compatible with the existing LEGO System-in-Play.
The system debuts with three “All-In-One” LEGO Star Wars sets.
LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: Luke’s Red Five X-Wing building set
A 584-piece set, including two SMART Minifigures (Luke Skywalker, in his iconic pilot suit, and Princess Leia), as well as Luke’s trusty companion, R2-D2, and Rebel Crew and Stormtrooper Minifigures.
This set includes an Imperial turret, transporter and command center, all of which unlock interactive features, such as laser-shooting sounds, engine sounds and lights plus refueling and repair sounds, through the use of the included LEGO SMART Brick, two LEGO SMART Minifigures and five LEGO SMART Tags.
LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter building set
One of the galaxy’s most iconic villains and his fighter ship arrives as part of LEGO SMART Play, allowing fans to replay and re-define the most epic battles on behalf of the Galactic Empire.
This 473-piece set features a brick-built Rebel Outpost and an Imperial Fueling Station, as well as a SMART Minifigure featuring Darth Vader and a Rebel Fleet Trooper Minifigure. The roar of the twin ion engines comes to life, among other interactive features, with the LEGO SMART Brick.
LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: Throne Room Duel & A-Wing building set
Fans will be able to re-enact and re-imagine one of the most memorable moments from the original Star Wars trilogy, the final lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The 962-piece set comes with three SMART Minifigures featuring the characters Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine and Luke Skywalker (Jedi).
Additionally, the set comes with a brick-built A-Wing Fighter and Pilot Minifigure, two Royal Guard Minifigures, and a SMART Tag-enabled cannon turret to defend the Emperor’s Throne Room.

Congressman Pat Ryan has demanded the FTC investigate the acquisition calling it an “attempt to monopolize” the trading card grading market.
In the press release, Congressman Ryan has said that Collectors has consolidated 80% of the grading volume, leaving only on significant independent as a competitor. Along with a vertical integration, controls on grading capacity, pricing, and even purchasing and selling graded cards, there’s a severe conflict of interest.
He has called on the Commission to investigate:
Monopolization: Whether Collectors acquired SGC and Beckett specifically to eliminate competition, and whether internal documents reveal a deliberate strategy of monopolization.
Serial Acquisition Pattern: Whether Collectors’ systematic roll-up strategy violates Section 5 of the FTC Act as conduct that inherently produces the cumulative harms the antitrust laws were designed to prevent.
Regulatory Evasion: Whether Collēctīvus Holdings functioned as a pass-through entity to evade merger scrutiny, and the extent of Collectors’ involvement in the 2024 acquisition of Beckett.
Good-Faith Representations: Whether the post-acquisition marginalization of SGC was contrary to representations made at the time of the merger, and if those actions warrant a court-ordered divestiture or unwinding of the deal.
Erosion of Competition: How the elimination of independent rivals has directly impacted consumer pricing, service quality, and turnaround times across the industry.
Price and Policy Coordination: What safeguards, if any, prevent Collectors from coordinating pricing, grading standards, and competitive behavior across its three nominally “independent” brands.
Barriers to Entry: What structural barriers now prevent new competitors from entering the market, specifically regarding the control of the limited labor pool of professional graders.
Market Manipulation: How vertical integration — controlling the grading process, the pricing data through CardLadder, and the marketplace itself — creates unique opportunities for market manipulation and unfair self-dealing.
