    Ive just lit a few fireworks from the Fire pack. They are amazingly loud! Especially those two blue cones that come in their own box, also the large chico whistle firework is very loud. The crackle effect on all of the fireworks in the box are SOO loud its amazing! Never heard anything that loud from a selection box before!

    Wish I had baught another box now! Will be top of my list for new year if available!

    Also just an update when standing outside now alls you can hear are bangs in the distance so far there hasnt been 5 mins without a bang! Sounding good! EDIT: want to update that now there has not been around 10 SECONDS without a bang :D

    Although I actually think that there will be loads of fireworks going off tomorrow as I know throughout the pyro world there are a lot firing their displays tomorrow and I also think a lot of families will opt for firing on the saturday, maybe having a party too!

    Hi guys, I visit this forum every year around this time, and I have to come online and say thanks for all of the good advice and deals...I will be having my firework party tomorrow night.

    I had bought 10 of the Airborne Assault rockets mentioned earlier in the thread and accompanied by a very poor video of them from Brightstar.

    I have to say I think they have the wrong video, I had bought these to use as a finale and I didn't want it to be like a fart in a hurricane so I tried one earlier...

    Heres the result...personally I am happy with that for the price, be interesting to see the other effects, I've heard good things on other forums...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEuU74dVBxw
  • i have added these to my stash http://s1180.photobucket.com/home/trickyrickxx i have also let off all of the fireworks and really enjoyed them apart from the big rockets they was extreamly poor(both lifted to house high then shot off side ways and fell to the ground behind a house and exploded but everyone was i ok i went and checked) the lidl fireworks was all good as the libarator pack was worth the money the tnt rockets were ok but wouldnt bother with them again next year infact i am staying away from all rockets next year as i feel they are over priced for what they do.the two big fountains was great would defanatly go for them next year. all weco was great the cakes was anazing for the price as was the firepack. hope everyone has good firework and safe

    I had the Aldi Rockets last year and they were pants.

    The big £6 pack from Lidl were very impressive!! Whoever said they were bad was dead wrong!

    I've Just let off 'Stormy - Monster Bang' from Weco Cocktail of Rockets. It blew me away totally! it had a colossul effect, burst as round as an arial shell, considering its size, it was just epic! I would totally reccomend Cocktail of rockets, as well as Fire Pack, 25 Carat, Fire Fighter and cyber box. WECO FTW!!!

    Are you sure the Lidl rockets are good??? I still think the Terminal Velocity are great from Aldi.

    I'm 100% sure. Well i know that they are better quality than terminal velocity. Terminal has lower quality, but much higher quantity.

    Just finished the display here is a small review

    Impanema : IMO was better than the 25 Carat nice bangs and excellent Reports and for £6 a pop

    25 Carat : Alot of hype to this and i must say very nice the Gold colour was spot on not very Sky filling

    Atom Bomb : Bang of the night no question

    Firefighter : This might be on of the best fireworks ive seen for £10 Mix bag of bangs Whitles Crackling you name it the Orange report from these might be the best coulour ive seen from a firework

    Black Mamba Rockets : Very impressive for the money nice bang and big amount of colour

    SFX Rocket Pack : Very impressed with the hight these went still think the Atom bombs bang was bigger

    Demolition Rockets : Nice effect but for £20 a rocket RRP im not sold on these glad i got them free

    Flashing Thunder : Got this at the last minute Very nice candle felt like the Old school bangs (Brightstar)

    Aldi Liberator : Must say this was worth the money but nothing amazing

    Rage Mega Pack : Collosal 8 Shot , Polaris 8 Shot , Obsession 25 Shot , Mirage 30 Shot
    Were all exelent set all 4 off at once just before my finale

    Finale

    Diablo 30 Shot , 2 SFX Rockets , 2 Black Mamba Rockets , 1 Atom Bomb

    Its was all over the place wish i had fuse to get them going off at the same time Atom Bomb went first very good bangs and nice coulour then 4 rockets went off but my Diablo didnt do anything smoke was still coming out of it gave it around 5 minutes but nothing just left it out the back hopefully not a rude wake up call tonight :rotfl:


    Hope my local lidl has some excess stock cause those Impanema cakes were Amazing


    Neighbors had a nightmare he set up his fireworks outside 5 Minutes before lighting and the rain started all his fuses were wet then he set off a atom bomb and the bang Smashed the windows in his greenhouse :rotfl: very impressed with his finale

    Fireing order

    x2 Sky Jubilee
    x2 Coulor Explosion
    x2 25 Carat
    x2 Impanema
    x2 Firefighter

    think it cost £59 in total very nice lasted a good 3-4 minutes and i was very jealous :(

    Did you just let the one off or all of them?

    Cocktail of Rockets 3 which is pretty good...

    Personally I think Terminal Velocity are the best in any supermarket for £10 for 16 rockets.
