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

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

where abouts is this shop i went to one and bought the starbombs and some bogof cakes them star bombs are very good nice big bursts on them and i recommend you get them and best thing they look small but they are veryy good for the money get them wheres the shop

Its great and well worth the drive, a few favourites from last year out of stock but its popular so to be expected. We have tried to get as decent a selection or "bang for our buck" as hubby would say and are sharing with a friend to make a night of it. We got

Rockets - echo bomb, smiley face, heat seeker, sky force, space blaster, sky thriller and atomic meltdown. Plus a few packs of smaller ones to let off all in one go at the end as they had no thuderous volley so we had mega rocket pack (have a link to post later), sonic burst pack and gunpowder plot pack.

Wheel - fiery eye

Mines - Rapture, electric mine, moon boom and buzz bomb

Roman candles - lunar canon, gamma rays, blazing asteroids, mega sky burst and thunderclap

Fountains - lava, volcano and ice storm

SIB - action zone, king cobra, humming hornets, iron man, fragma, mission control, dr thrust, first dynasty, sky lab, venom, silver spirals, magnum force, night vision, mad moth

From Lidl we had 3 of the carats/imp selection and from JTF we had the widow makers, the frog fountain, some rockets and a few barrages/cakes.

Thats it, unless there is a voucher in the paper tomorrow for any good freebies :rotfl:

Nope there doesnt seem to be any sadly, surprised I would of thought that they would try and push another offer this weekend to get people buying right before bonfire night.

Maybe with bfn being on Saturday this year they will have offers on the 5th? Time will tell.
