  • hahaha i think you may be right!
  • im looking forward to setting off those big rockets! ive never bought any as big as that before. the biggest ive bought before were probably a third of the size of the black gemini ones! you cant beat the woosh sound of a rocket going up then exploding in a burst of colour!

    the black gemini's are supposed to be awesome, cant wait!!! (did i mention that before?!)
  • cool thanks for the heads up :) all the fireworks there are 'old' stock supposedly, most of the stuff there should go off with a nice old school bang :D

    oh i will dont worry!

    Great picture! I had some of those black gemini rockets last year and they are the best and loudest rockets I've ever tried. I need to know where to get them again this year, anyone?

    Anyway, I popped into my local Lidl's today and stocked up with the 25 Carat cakes. Thanks for that :D.

  • thanks warehouse :D the guy in the shop said they were one of the best rocket packs he had ever heard and seen. i just put that to sales patter, but if other people like yourself say they are great too, that can only mean good things!

    i found this whilst trying to find a review of them, seem expensive though :s

    oh also these look to be a newer/different design to the ones i have.

    Last year I paid £20 for a pack of the 5 big ones with the different coloured cones. There were no smaller rockets in there.
