Trickyrickxx - I have to admit i was already thinking of next year lol Only realized where Epic was today after i'd already bought most of it. So will have to save 'cos im sure i could spend all day in there!

Si7 & Dan2310 - Unfortunately i'm not the most patient of people and have already "tested" a few out of that box (my excuse? i had to compare it to the cyberbox ) I'm sure there should still be enough for a pic tho, will have a look in a bit.

Think we've got enough fountain-ish things, but could really do with some more rockets. Not sure where to try for them as the ones in Aldi (which seem the best in the supermarkets) look suspiciously like the ones that let me down a bit last year. And other than that container place theres not really many other options where i live.

You have some fantastic rockets so Terminal Velocity in Aldi for £10 will do you fine. I would get more Black Gemini if you could though. Size doesn't always matter and they weigh in at nearly 1KG...

Haha, your like us all then! Have to 'test' a few fireworks before the big night!
Yeah a pic of anything is fine (as long as its of some fireworks :P )

Also, about rockets I had the aldi ones last year, they were good for the price, they actually had a bang rather than most other rockets from supermarkets these days!

Which ones from Aldi??

The £9.99 pack Terminal Velocity. For the price you couldn't argue at all! Cant remember exactly but I remember them having a nice burst and bang. Nothing like the rockets from asda (old starburst ones)!

Would be sooo much easier if it let me post pics lol

Unfortunatley this is all that's left of my little £4 box - the bigger items proved too much too resist and are now just an empty shell

What we have so far . . .

Seems i'd forgotten how to count and it was six airbombs for £1.50!

And a small Gemini (Image taken from the video, so not best quality)

Thanks for the replies regarding rockets. I'll give Aldi a try tomorrow. There's only going to be about 5 of us (Bonfire with the parents!) so wasn't going to spend much more . . .although i can't resist anything loud and sparkly, so maybe more Gemini's will prove tempting. I don't know

looks like a good variaty of fireworks tink

Si7

That £4 selection box looks a real bargain if that's what's left AFTER you've fired the bigger pieces :cool:

If you need to "test" another before the big day lol I can recommend the small red "Volcano" in the Cyber Pack, you won't be disappointed for such a tiddler
