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

Bright Star & Star Burst seem to be one & the same.

PM'd you re Emporer box

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?

Afterburner does look interesting, according to the specs the rockets are right on the 1.4G load limit not that that's particularly an endorsement to buy but shows they are trying. Shot tubes too, bit of variety.

Jet Blast seem to be a rebadged Terminal Velocity by all accounts, safe bet I guess for a Supermarket rocket, and there's 15 to a pack, AND it's £5 cheaper but look at those luurvely shots tubes in the Afterburner pack..! Gahhh, it's a pyro jungle!

I'd personally go with Jet Blast rockets as they're a safe bet lol. Not sure about the Afterburner pack, might be crap and it's 50% more in price.

Jet Blast are 14 to a pack.

just been to brightstar near me a little setup shop like the ones that come and go picked up a pack of black gemeni rockets for 15 quid from what ive heard theyre good but can anyone tell me if they are good and what the noise and the bursts are like

thanks

Very good high powered rockets - how many did you get in the pack?

danny1997

5 but bt i think its a bargain because ive seen them on the internet for 25 pound a pack are they loud with decent bursts because i didnt want to spend money on something that sounds like a fart in a hurricane if you get what i mean

Seriously, why are you so hyped up about Jet Blast rockets!? Do you work for Aldi!?

I was only giving my opinion, I am not a secret Aldi operative.

Or am I.... :whistle:

Hi , old but a novice!! bought some from Lidl as read good reports but the cakes are tiny! They have loads of shots though - they only last 30 and 60 seconds - the cakes p have bought before were 150% bigger = worried now help experts x please!

having a small party at mine I wanted something good but reasonably priced - baring in mind it is money going up in smoke!
