    I'd think as Dan said, "OK" There are two of those in the £6 Cyber Pack don't forget. The Manhattan 2 Stage Crackling Battery looks better, I presume there's a central fountain, maybe crackle effect & there's also 7 x 18mm bore tubes laced around the outside. There's two of these. Big Bertha looks good also, another 7 shot 18mm bore mini cake. When all is said and done though it is only a £12 selection box, never going to set the World on fire. (The Cyber Box Volcano fountain nearly set my gate on fire though lol)

    the manhattan IS a central gold fountain with crackling gold comets around the edges

    So, I got:

    1x 25 Carat
    1x Inpanema
    1x Fire Fighter
    1x Fire Pack

    Just took some pictures now and there just uploading so I will post them here in five mins :D

    Sorry about the quality of the pics, they seem fine looking at them before I uploaded via photobucket! Also sorry if they are too big, just say and I will try to resize them.

    While Im posting firework pics, for anyone that missed it this is my stash for Birthday display that I picked up from the Firework Warehouse for £70. These will be set off next Saturday and I am looking soo forward to it! You will probaly notice I have more in that stash than in my bonfire night one! This is because we usually go to a display etc on bonfire night so those will be fired on the Saturday 6th.

    Haha yeah! I thaught that, from the videos it just looked too good to miss. I know some of the fountains in the cyberbox look (or are) very good but I will still have quite a few fountains etc in the fire pack that I can set off! I also have a pack of wheels to go with the collection as they were BOGOF from the Firework Warehouse!

    I also notice that there's some mini fountains in the fire pack which will be ideal to let off before bonfire night (haha!).

    I had them last time aldi had them, there ok mainly just white stars shooting upwards in rapid fire! Very bright though if there still the same!

    the silverstar battery is very pretty:silver comets topped with nice red stars is the effect.
