i don't know if i ever did a review of my fireworks from last year but i will now.

Fire In The Sky Selection box £6.80: This box was amaziing for the price. the shot tubes were suprising and some of the smaller rockets in the pack were them noisy, screaming ones that i really like. Everything else out of this were average including the colourful rockets in the box.
Magnitude Selection Box £39.99: this pack was a good quality of 50 small fireworks. the small cakes were just decent roman candles and i had some problems with 1 or 2 fireworks in the pack but the mines gave big bursts and the fountains had a long duration.
Funky Frog Fountain £4.95: This was very dissapointing i won't be getting this again.
5x Sky lanterns 85p Per: these were good and i can't find anything negative about them.
Bunker Buster Double Shot Cake £5.99: Really good firework but if i ant to buy it again i will need to secure it since it fell over last time. I don't know if this is the same firework i got from jtf last year but it has the same name i think.
Kapow Selection Box by Bulldog Fireworks and Starshot Rocket pack Got them Both For £37.00! : The selection box had some good fountains and rockets but also had some cakes called superstar and megastar that matched up to the cakes from lidl in every way. Now the rockets were astonishing and had many different effects.
Firepack Selection Box £12.00 (i think): The aestheics of the fireworks were poor but when fired off were amazing for the price. I also liked the variety you got for them.

since i agree about ukfr and how bad it is.

A few people have said that, its dominated by a clique of people most of them professionals and a small number of businesses. Really a review site should not have buisness on it tell everyone how good they are or how great their deals are. Even if it IS true.

I emailed jtf@brightstaruk.com about quality issues with the selection box fireworks, one or two were poor constructionwise but hopefully brightstar who make the fireworks for JTF under the Guy Fawkes brand have listened to my concerns and hopefully the quality will be better this year when I buy.

To pass the time while we wait for the excitement to mount and the anticipation of what gems Lidl will unleash upon us this year hehe how about a list of last years fave's, ones to look out for this year.

Top of my list would be :

1) Kimbolton Glittering Gemstones, DEAFENING crackle on the last pair of tubes, at 5M it's almost enough to make your nose bleed

2) Small cone in the Weco plastic bag selection. Think there were two. Astounding performance for a tiddler, short lived but almighty height. 10/10. What was it called?
