Thought I may as well go for it, so here is a pic of my stash for bonfire display 2010. Mostly all from Lidl ( wheels from firework warehouse bogof packs).


I know this wont be as good as my birthday display, but after witnessing a 25 carat on Saturday my hopes have been brought up

I think Night Star are actually an OK brand. Most of their items can be found here:

No videos of products though sadly.

Im sure there will be someone on here who can give you a better opinion of Night Star as I have heard of them a few times but Ive never actually used them

Just a quick update on this years stash and where i have got them from.

Asda:
2 x Packs of TNT Powder Keg (These seem quite heavy for what they are) £3 each pack of two
1 x Pumpkin Fountain (my three year old chose this because it is a pumpkin, does seem a bit cheapy and crappy) £5

Lidl:
1 x 25 carat
1 x Ipanema 2 for £12
2 x Cocktail of Rockets 2 for £12
1 x firefighter £9.99
1 x Fire Pack £12.99 (Really impressed with this pack, looks excellent for the price.

Morrison:
2 x TNT Colour Explosion (These are BOGOF and are really quite heavy) £10 for the two
2 x TNT Sky Julilee (BOGOF) £5

Argos: (Wife though she was doing me a favour)
1 x Brute Force £24.99 (This seems ok Homebase sell it for £49.99
1 x Outrage 16 Rocket Pack £14.99 (These don't look very impressive at all, wish she had picked up some cocktail rockets or a couple of cakes in Lidls)

Total so far: £112.96 Also have about seven or eight packs of sparklers left over from last year.

There will most defininately be some more to add to list before the 6th Nov, hopefully some massive rockets, and maybe a couple more lidl cakes
