i know it aint the best but am going to test it tonite with the roman candles from the cyber box to make sure all is ok and i will have wing nuts in the top pipe to hold the bigger roman candles in place when i finally get some lol

Latifs are doing Benstar this year, prices are good but you're sorta pushed into buying 3's. Think you can mix & match same priced items though.

Benstar Purple Moon, £15.99, buy 1 get 2 free (£5.33 box)
Benstar Black Nebula, £39.99, buy 1 get 2 free (£13.33 box)

Great job Tricky, just drop them in. Reuseable too, like it. :cool: Think for a tweak I'd place a brace on the back across all three arms to hold the outer arms firm if they should get a knock.

No latiffs anywhere near me - that's a good price for the black nebula. It has 4 really decent cakes in it, a couple of impressive mines, around 5 big roman candles, 2 whistle rockets, and fountains.
If you live near latiffs, definately consider getting 3 of these

Might just do that thanks, £13.33 looks a great deal, found a contents pic :

so you have to buy 3 of them boxes for £39.99 and can't buy them seperatly ?

thanks si7 i might give that ago but they do have 3 2 and a half inch screws going into the main stem but maybe better safe than sorry cain wait for some big roman candles to give it a good test lol

Yes, I never get that, it would be better to sell one box @ £15, OR 3 for £39, you cover all customer bases then, possibly sell more overall because of it and get £15 per item for a percentage of the stock.

i noticed the cheap tesco selection box has 4 roman candles per box and they are 3 box's for £20 so i might have to get them i know they wont be great roman candles but i made the fan so god damm i will use it lol
