Limited Edition – Red and Blue Frames Now Available

We are thrilled to announce the release of our new, limited-edition Red and Blue frames just in time for Christmas. Until now, we have only offered display frames in classic Black or White so we are super excited to reveal our new colours as a sneak preview of what will be available later on next year in 2024.

We only have 9 of each colour available to buy so act quickly if you would like to be one of the first people to have one of these gorgeous new frames up on your walls!

We wanted to give our customers the first opportunity to own these unique frames before they officially launch next year. The limited quantities make them a special addition to any Lego display, and we’re excited to see the creativity our customers bring to their collections with these new, more vibrant colours.

We value your feedback, and to further enhance our offerings, we invite you to share your colour preferences. In 2024, our collection will expand to include additional colours matched to official Lego shades. Visit our website or follow us on social media to stay informed about upcoming releases and please share with us your thoughts on the colours you’d love to see.

New for Christmas 2023

To all our customers.

After a price increase that has lasted just over six months we are pleased to announce that we are able to reduce our prices again just in time for Christmas. This is due to us recently receiving a new batch of frames at the more reasonable shipping cost. It allows us to stay true to our promise of bringing the prices down as soon as possible. So we hope you can enjoy the savings and order yourself a frame for Christmas.

We are also very pleased to announce that we now have two new colours available, there is only very limited stock at the moment as we want to test the market and see how popular the new colours are before ordering more. We are just in the process of getting photos of the new products so that we can list them on our website, but as I said there are not many at the moment, so keep an eye out and snap up a brand new red or blue frame whilst they last.

We are also now in possession of a smaller frame, in three configurations, that we are also getting photographed and will be really excited to sell in 2024. This is the first time in nearly 8 years that we have actually added to our products rather than improved the one product (albeit in two colours) that we have. It is an exciting time for Digs for Figs and we hope that we have made the best decisions for our customers and the larger market place in doing this.

It is still November when I type this, so it is a little early, but we wish you all a fabulous Christmas, an amazing new year and look forward to engaging further with our customers and the wider AFOL community in 2024.

Prices on the Rise

To all our customers.

We have been working hard to navigate the challenges presented by the global pandemic and the resulting economic impact. One of the most significant challenges we have faced has been the increased production costs due to shortages of raw materials. The hugely inflated costs over the past 2 years has also had a substantial impact on us.

As a result we will be implementing a modest price increase on our products starting March 1st 2023. We understand that any increase in price can be difficult for our customers, but we want to assure you that we have explored all possible options before making this decision. We remain committed to providing you with the best possible value for money.

We are excited to announce that we will be using this opportunity to further improve our products. We will be introducing new colour options that will bring even more life to your minifig collections.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and loyalty to our brand. Your business means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you again for choosing digsforfigs!

Miniscene 2022 Winner

Digs for Figs are proud to announce the winner of our 2022 miniscene competition.

We had many great entries depicting everything from space stations and wizard battles to aquaman and scooby-doo. The creativity of the designs absolutely blew us away. The judges were so impressed by the range of designs and the clever details included that they struggled to come to a decision.

But decide they did.

So it is with great pleasure that we can announce that the winner is…. drum roll…. a-brick-adavra by Leon Hard.

This fantastic depiction of a battle between good and evil includes great details, clever techniques and so much movement and storytelling. We are very happy that our winner, from Spain, has his frame and will be listing his prize winning design on rebrickable.com soon. check out his Instagram here – instagram.com/LeonhardJPG

All the entries are now available to view on our website at digsforfigs.com/miniscene2022/

Our list of finalists include; 80s Films by Simon Giles, Skiing holiday by SpeedyKiwi, Break in at Wayne Manor by Matt Smith, Yabba-dabba-do by Justyna Sobkowiak and Falling by Lisa Mason.

With a big shout out to Nicholas Marshall coming in a very close second with his Space Station miniscene.

Coming to America

Good news, everyone. Digs for figs will be shipping direct to the United States of America. That’s right we are resuming our deliveries to mainland USA. By shipping direct to the US we can offer our American customers significantly cheaper shipping costs that if we sell only from the UK. Back orders are available now with frames expected to be shipped out in June. We are still working out the best way to offer base plates with US purchases but we hope to satisfy all our customers.

New VAT Rules and Shipping Issues

New VAT rules for sales to the EU from the UK mean that we will need to get an IOSS number – this will take up to a week to process and so any orders from the EU will be delayed until we have one. The new rules state that VAT must be declared on all sales over £22 at the creation of an invoice. The complexities of managing this through our website will pose some problems but we are confident we will have something in place soon. Please bear with us.

We at digs for figs have, up until now, prided ourselves on selling frames all over the world but due to recent experiences with overseas damages we have taken the hard decision to ship only to the UK and Europe. This is, we hope, a temporary measure that will protect us from incurring unnecessary costs when damages do occur and also protect our customers from poor experiences when buying from Digs for Figs.

We have also seen the cost of shipping from our manufacturer in China triple since last year. This unfortunately means that the cost of our frames will have to rise to ensure that we are still a profitable company. We have been reluctant to raise the cost of the frames to cover the rising shipping costs but with our next batch we will sadly be raising the cost of a frame with plates from £65 to £75. This should ensure that we can continue to buy stock and sell them to our customers. We are hopeful that, once the shipping industry is back on an even keel, our prices will return to their original levels.

New for 2021: Brexit has a negative effect

I am sorry to report that, due (I assume) to Brexit, the cost of shipping abroad has gone up. We have had to change our prices to reflect this. I hope that this is just an adjustment period and that deliveries to Europe and the rest of the world will come down in price as the year goes on, but I cannot be sure. I know this will affect our customers more than ever in these uncertain times and I apologise for the change. Sadly this is the country I live in and the choice that was made has consequences.

Rest assured, I will continue to work on finding better delivery solutions to bring the digs for figs frames to everyone as cheap as possible for years to come.

New for 2020: Digs For Figs

We are no longer Display Frames UK, we are now Digs for Figs. We feel that our new name is more representative of the company we want to be. It is memorable and fun.

What was once our tag line has now become our official name. You may have noticed the website address has changed, you may even have tried to get to www.displayframesuk.com only to end up here, well that’s the power of the internet. You are now on the digsforfigs.com page and that’s how we hope it will stay.

So don’t be alarmed, we have the same site, the same product, the same great customer service, all that has changed is the name.

New for 2019: Front opening Frames

We have worked hard to bring you the next step in our frames, front opening. Yes, we know, its a door, but what a door! It has hinges, and opens and closes. The frame has small magnets in to keep the door closed.

The door is slightly larger than the frame, giving a beautiful framed look, this means the frame has to be wall mounted. It stays on the wall through the use two hangers.

This frame keep can hold many figures, as much as 315 figures. there are 7 shelves, each shelf is 64 studs wide and 6 studs deep, this means it can hold three rows of figures on each shelf totalling 45 figs per shelf.
