With the Big Launch of the brand new Firestar website just around the corner (5 days to go!) Firestar Towers echoes with the sounds of frantic typing, order slips eagerly whooshing through printers, the fearsome roar of the tape-gun and the click-focus-snap of Lego photography. It’s true – the Lego mini-figs have their own brightly lit studio in miniature, where they preen and strut their stuff atop a stage of white cardboard, before being expertly manipulated by our resident photoshop expert and photographer of tiny plastic men, Lauren.
It’s at such times that our thoughts turn to the beautiful golden Autumn days. That we’re missing, what with toiling night and day at the hot fires of the nascent website. And, as luxurious as the Firestar Towers are (I can exclusively tell you they are a den of Bacchanalian delights and pleasure boating in one of our many moats), who wouldn’t rather be outside, perhaps skipping merrily, picking up shiny conkers and crunching russet leaves. This of course brings to mind that beloved song of childhood, the Conker Song:
Bright and lovely Chestnut tree,
Will’st thou deign to notice me?
Bless mine eyes as didst of old,
With thy shining countenance gold!
Speak, O Tree, with rustling voice,
Let Autumn’s angels guide your choice.
And now thou must pay Autumn’s Fee,
Oh! Drop a conker just for me!

But conkers aren’t the only thing about autumn, as I’m certain Ms.Tweenote would be at the front of the queue to acknowledge. No, what about Halloween? All Hallows Eve, Samhain, The Spooky Dressy-Uppy Night. Whatever you call it, it’s coming soon. And, what better way to get into the ghoulish spirit than indulging your macabre side with some custom, seasonal Lego designs?

Halloween Mummy
In life this Mummy was either a Pharoah or a big fan or bandages.
Don't let this Vampire's playful looking face fool you, he has a slightly more terrifing one on the back of his head!
This reanimated monster actually has no name himself - it's Dr Frankenstein who made him (he went a bit loopy studing medicine at university, so the story goes). So you get to name him yourself! How about Steve? Just a suggestion.
Custom Design Lord Halloween
Who rules the pumpkins? Lord Halloween rules the pumpkins! And other sundry halloween themed items. Yeah.
Halloween Werewolf
Pretty snazzy duds, eh? Does our Halloween Werewolf have a more human face when the moon's not so full? You get to decide! Personally, we think his alter ego is hollywood comedy actor, Ben Stiller. But that's just us.
Keep a look out for upcoming Halloween promotions here on the blog, and even a giveaway or two!
