About FireStar Toys

FireStar Toys is a UK specialist in LEGO minifigures, individual parts and custom-printed figures rather than a general toy shop, so a FireStar Toys discount code is usually spent on one display piece or on a long list of small components. The catalogue mixes genuine LEGO elements, minifigures split out of sets, brick-built accessories and third-party custom pieces by independent designers.

Genuine, custom and third party are not the same thing

This is the distinction that catches people out. A genuine minifigure came from an official set. A custom is usually a genuine base with new printing applied by a customiser, or genuine parts in a combination the factory never sold. Third-party accessories come from other companies and are compatible rather than official. None of it is fake if it is described honestly, but the wording on the listing decides what the piece is worth to a collector later.

Condition and completeness

Parted-out figures are usually sold as new and unused even though the set they came from was opened, and the listing says which accessories are included. A figure photographed with a weapon, cape or stand does not always ship with them, so read the description rather than the photo. Print quality varies between makers, and printing applied after moulding can wear with heavy handling, so treat detailed customs as display pieces rather than everyday toys.

Small parts, age marks and safety

Minifigures, weapons and loose elements are small parts. A not suitable for children under three marking is there because of a choking hazard, not as a difficulty rating, and it applies to customs as much as to official pieces. If the figures are for a young child rather than a shelf, stay with larger brick-built items and keep small accessories out of reach.

Buying parts in bulk

If you are building a display or a custom army, work out exactly which element you need first, since similar-looking parts differ in mould and in colour name. One basket saves postage against several small parcels.

Using a FireStar Toys discount code

Apply the code in the basket and confirm the total changes before paying. Codes often exclude items already marked down, pre-orders and gift vouchers, and a minimum spend is common where many items are inexpensive. Postage is separate, so compare the delivered total, not the subtotal.
