Tut tut Dan, willpower man, willpower! Now you are going to have to REPLACE the Pyrotime.. Agree, the last minute top ups reach almost fever pitch!
Golden Lion Emperor - £20! :T

Haha, there seemed to be quite a few fireworks going off round here last night so I couldn't resist lighting one or two then it turned into... 15 or 16... :rotfl:

Iknow I should replace it really want some rockets for my display, don't usually do them as there never too good from supermarkets but there quite fun at the same time!
Keep telling myself this is the last thing Im buying then the next week I end up getting more!

That golden Lion-Emperor looks brilliant for £20 I want one!! Would love one of those old firepacks too!

Are you planning on firing all of your pyo on Bonfire Night or spreading it out again?

im after some info.

has anyone ever heard of StarBurst/StarBright fireworks? (not brightstar)

the logo looks a complete ripoff of Bright Star and the packaging isnt that dis-similar either.
my local shop has got lots of this brand in and the prices are quite good. wondering if anyone has heard anything about these?

prices i can remember...

Earth shaker 56shot barrage (about 2 foot high and as wide as a 500ml coke bottle) £13.99 bogof
star bombs (double air bombs x3 in a pack) £3.49 bogof
Exocet rockets (5 in a pack, look like small dome head rockets) £8.99 bogof
3 barrages - all 24 shot - various names and effects (Red Demon, Meteor Dawn, Yellow Peril) £10.99 bogof or 3 for £20 (dont think he quite worked this one out right as it works out as £21.98 for 4 of them on the bogof deal!)

any advice appreciated guys

Id guess that they are another brand owned by Bright Star? They have Guy Fawkes, Bright Star Esco and a few more names if I remember correctly.
Not sure but you might be able to match up some of those fireworks with simialar ones by brightstar. Often they are just repackaged.

That may not be the case though and it may be a completly different brand. Im sure someone will help you soon

Have our stash now from Epic :T Added a few bits from Lidl, after seeing the recommendations on here, and some from JTF so think we are all done.

Lots sold out at Epic so had to change a few from the planned list.

Will try and get it altogether and do a pic over weekend. My favourite I think will be the smiley face rocket as it looks cute on the site video. Hubbies will be the echo bombs or widow makers as he likes the loud ones.

Wondering if someone can help me, plan to pick up some rockets tomorrow to finish off my stash!

I can get to ASDA or Aldi most easily.

ASDA have the Afterburner pack for £15 and includes 4 large rockets and 4 shot tubes, noise rating on leaflet is full. Also heard some good comments on Supermarket List

OR
Aldi have those Jet blast rockets (terminal velocity) for £10 for 14 rockets- had them a few years back and they were brilliant for the price?


So, which should I get do you think? Will the Afterburner pack really be that loud?
