A lot of you guys on here seem to be very much 'in the know' regarding fireworks..I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on Sparky Fireworks.. I'm just an amatuer pyromaniac and enjoy having large display's in my garden..I wish I could get my hands on some of those (coconut looking) shells and other pro fireworks but I'm having to do with what Sparky's (and others) offer. I do get them cheaper than what the general public would pay, but still feel I'm missing out... This year I have gotten myself 'Close Call' , 'The Gladiator', 'The Ultimate' and 'Continental Shaker' as part of my collection...any ideas on what these are like???
One other question....Seeing as I can't get my hands on any of those shells I mentioned earlier,,what are the biggest (and or) best rockets avaliable to the general public? I prefer loud to colourful (typically the wife is opposite lol)..I'm far from rolling in piles of cash, so value for money also comes into the equation..

I've never seen Skarky's fireworks before, so I can't comment on them, but if you're looking for the best rockets available in the UK (or the best fireworks in general) look up Kimbolton fireworks.

I'm sure most (if not all) here will agree with me that they're simply the best consumer fireworks you can buy.

Wow, that's interesting to know, I've got a Kimbolton Centre of Excellence right on my doorstep. Will certainly be investigating.

ah... I think Kimbolton Centre of Excellence has nothing to do with Kimbolton Fireworks. Kimbolton is the only manufacture left in the UK, but they import their Rockets from Germany, and mighty fine rockets they are. Mind you, they are a bit on the expensive side, but with a performance to match.

The above page seems to suggest they are infact endorsed by Kimbolton.

Some of the WECO rockets are truely amazing. There are some excelent videos of their better ones on freakpyromaniacs.com

OH! I was not aware of that. Well, seem like those are Kimbolton endorsed companies!

Yes I believe the Centres Of Excellence are just retailers who stock Kimbolton fireworks and provide excellent customer service/advice/safety etc. etc.

Or they just sent Kimbolton a big cheque...
