    I've already said once in this thread that it isn't that good, the Streetwise box, it looks a lot bigger and better than it actually is.

    If I can I will get a photo of it in latifs at some point soon, no promises.

    Can anyone give some feedback on the Streetwise box? Have usually gone for a decent combination of barages and rockets from lidl with a few top-ups from Asds and Morrissons but looking around this year I am not so enthusiastic.

    The streetwise box looks nice but it's hard to tell from the picture how good it is - any feedback would be great

    well when i visited latifs last week i saw the box, must be around 1-3 foot long

    i know you get about 3 large backs of rockets and rest barrages and small nigly stuff, but i know for sure il be getting that this year!

    Mind you, saying that, it is only £40....

    Last night I could still access it via /zen/ but now that has gone to - damn!

    I can however confirm that Party Time had been repriced to £250 (and was SOLD OUT) and the Devils Ring 90 Shot Cakes were up to £15, from £7 each.

    Haven't noticed anyone post Netto yet, there range can be seen in here: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/4e40e12c#/4e40e12c/1

    All the Netto fireworks seem to be the leftovers from Sainsbury's and Tesco last year. I know we bought the Fission cake things and the Rockets were the ones offered with a voucher in the Daily Express last year if anyone remebers.
