voodoo looks good on weco site vid .aquila has less nec than brthers starring cake so i cant see it being that good .

Interesting. I did look on the Weco site and the Aquila is actually slightly higher NEC pro-rata than the 25 Carat it has replaced, sure it's only 16 shots as opposed to 25 but it is £3 cheaper

I think Lidl may have outmanoeuvered the meddlers here, excellent lol

Voodoo does look good too I agree.

exactly the aquila you get 4 for £20 instead of 3 you may think your losing shots but with the extra cake you buy you only lose a minimal amount of shots but in my view still get a similar effect as 25 vegetables

Thanks for uploading!

Glad to see lidl have added 2 new items while still keeping the other stuff (minus 25 carat)

I like the look of Voodoo star but thinking- is it really worth the extra £7 compared to Fire Fighter they seem similar from memory?

Edit: just watched the video on the Weco site and it looks much better than the video i found on youtube- looked like a different firework!

Aquilla looks great for £5 will definitely pick up one of those and a Fire Pack to add to my collection- hopefully a few of the others too

LOL! hey ad nice to meet another moron on the internet :T- but hey everyone go over to ukfr and join up like add suggests, then post some pictures of your 2012 fireworks stash! Just don't wonder who sends hse to your door for breaking storage regulations.

Galactic run a auction and quiz every monday (365 days a year) and with it being the first year that the forum has been here Galactic run a Birthday week where they auctioned and give away 1000s of pound of pyro in the week.

Lastly i am not a advertiser just a very proud member of Galactics forum.

I wouldn't bother with the maximum Showtime, it's overpriced imo!!!

Also don't forget to sign up to the less biased and better Fireworks Forum: http://www.fireworks-forum.org.uk/

This was the old UKFR and has a large number of fireworks companies as sponsors, offering a lot more variety than just one company and their own forum (not knocking Galactic here btw).

Newsbox fireworks just did a demo night and UKFR has just updated the review section with a load of videos. There's a wealth of knowledge on this forum and we can help you get the best pyro for your money that isn't just Epic and Brothers (even though they both make great stuff). The new Men Shun Governor is apparently quite the finale piece with all 3 fired together, plus Devco and Sovereign also out there making some of the best consumer pyro out there, even though not many people have heard of them.
