thanks guys now all I have to do is wait until the 5th....! (and possibly, no definitely get some more while im waiting!)

the 3 fountain/mines were £3.99 each if I remember correctly. I'm looking forward to setting off some of that kimbolten stuff going by what si said from last year. unfortunatly i didnt manage to get it as cheap as him though! most of the stuff was half price or £10 - £15 off. yeah the rockets are sirens Si. only got them cos they came free if you spent £50+ and were a garden centre memeber, so obviously i signed up there and then lol.

the thundering space spiders is good isnt it? also got 3 more pieces to come from kimbolten, they just didnt have it in stock at the time. (including mutant space cherries)

and pyro, i got the black geminis from one of my local fireworks dealers. unfortunatly they were full price at £32.99 for 9, but they were so good last year that i thought i'd treat myself! they also had a pack of black mambas for £22.99 but only 5 rockets.

I had problems at our wyevale, i preordered a week before the 15 october,they couldnt get any mines and they had to get thundering space spiders from another store.I am looking forward to the kimbolton stuff though

windmill84

oh right thats not good then

they said that they were having trouble with customs at the one I went to. They said that the rest of the stuff should turn up last saturday (when i was there) and they would ring me when it was available. havent had a call yet though so im guessing its still stuck...

dcossi1

the y said they would call me,and never did .i went up,they got me space spiders and offered me an alternative for the mine at half price,so i got the cone instead. the staff were very nice about it but they should have checked what they had before allowing customers to preorder

windmill84

oh right. maybe ill try and get them to give me a decent offer then if the others dont turn up...

No - you are not alone.

I got one a couple of years back, i think it was £5...

Wasn't very impressive for a fountain, seemed like a few selection box fountains put together. I may be mistaken though lol
