Cheers Chris was just going to get them.....;)

Narrow escape To add insult to injury, one was a dud. I actually had them 2 years ago but had completely forgotten what they were like - now I'll make sure I keep written performance notes in future to avoid buying something so rubbish again! Although to be fair, 2 years ago I was only just progressing from supermarket selection boxes so they probably didn't seem quite so disappointing back then.

I ended up using the second pack to test out my BrightSpark launching system.

As far as the Liberator pack goes - I've used one of the Colour Vortexes and both of the Party Time barrages, the rest I'm going to use as a warm up to my main display on Sunday. The Colour Vortex was alright, the Party Time was quite weak, although both were better than the aforementioned Men Shun barrages. I do hope the others in there are better - if not then I should've gone with the Night Star Barrage Blast pack (£14.99 (well r.r.p. is £29.99 but doubt anywhere sells it for that) for 12 barrages - had them last year and they were quite good, very good at that price anyway).

Im just wondering if Lidl will stock weco again for new year!

I know in the past they have been known to put their brand from that year on sale at discounted prices for example few years ago with Benstar range, selection boxes had about £3-£5 knocked of and a couple of the cakes were discounted.

Cant seem to recall them stocking fireworks for new year this (last) year though, someone on here may be able to clarify this hopefully!
Imagine 25 carat for £4! Now that would be a good bargain and the cyber packs at £4?? We can hope! Lol

Yes, they sold fireworks for new year 2009-10 at discounted prices.
I have the leaflet, it was TNT, with only 1 quid deducted at max.
When they had benstar for new year in 2008:

Those rockets were amazing!
Rainbow Storm costs in the region of £15-£20 these days...
:TI wish we everyone still buy these at those prices!

Thanks for that!

Yeah that year I baught the black Nebula box and a cosmos cake all for £17 for that New Year!

Even if they dont do discounts or even just £1 off I would be tempted to buy some for Bonfire night 2011! Just incase they dont stock weco next year!
