    I'd be suprised if Lidl were all sold out yet, bad stock management if so, this is the big week. Get down there pronto! :D

    Id recommend getting down to Lidl too ;)


    Pic of Amethyst boom shot tubes from Sainsburys, 2 packs for £10. Dont expect them to be amazing, but they look OK for the price. There a lot bigger and heavier than I expected too! :)

    Also, whats the weather looking like for everyone?

    Liverpool says it will be light rain on the 5th! Suppose its better than heavy rain and strong wind :)
  • Thanks for everybodies help today, but i think im gonna stick with my first choice and go for the Armoury from JTF. Looks decent. I will probably change my mind when im in there, we'll see what happens. Just hope they have got plenty of stock!!!
  • hate not having a jtf or anything nearby :|

    Honestly the Armoury Crate is a nice pack but the fireworks are low quality. Its good value for money but remember that the armoury crate is the budget range ;).

    You would be much better going to a all year retailer such as galactic, epic or even the firework warehouse :rotfl:

  • i have the armoury crate and the weight of each firework feels ok.

    obviously it is never going to be as good as the big boy stuff, but for a normal garden display its great.

    @bevvybear88
    mak esure you have room in the car as the armoury crate really is quite a large box. i had to fold the back seats down in the car to get it in.

    just make sure a) you dont go in a mini
    and b) you dont have every seat taken in the car cos unless you have an estate, you will need to fold down seats lol
  • Didn't say they where crap mate just not the best is all. Have fun with them anyway as for a normal display there k as you said :D
