Ok tested one of the Lidl's 25 carat's last night (not from my purchases but a m8 i reccomended by them) and by god they are so underpriced i mean the report on them is Loud not as loud as you see at displays(these are commonly shells that costt £300 a pop) but the report is around about the same loudness as maybe a £60 rocket would deliver and the effect corresponding whilst only being a gold peony is still satisfying for the price i think two of these mixed with with an impena would suffice any final in this order Carat --- impena --- carat however the impena has more shot's so try light that first and then get the two carats lit up and have something to secure these in as they are quite powerfull little thing's

Ipanema/25 Carat have flaps that unfold out on the bottom and you just place the cake on a level surface as directed such as a flat wood board with stabilisation flaps unfolded;shouldn't need to bury or stake them.:rotfl:

we sat ours on decking and that is pretty flat but when the burts are coming out the tube you could see some varying movement in the barrage itself not enough to top over unless really unevenly balanced etc but i thought it best just to explain the experience we had with the barrage

Hi all

I've already purchased x10 Black Mamba rockets (i like those alot), but need a few more. I'm about to take the plunge with the Cosmic H-Bomb Blaster pack & the Brothers King-Dom rocket pack from Galactic.

Any thoughts ?

thanks.

Looks a good heavyweight pack, I'm also impressed with this Galactic Pack for £59 INCLUDING a 9 pack of Black Gemini's though must admit :
