Hi guys. I'm new here. Only ever dabbled in consumer fireworks but I've found all your recommendations most interesting. Here's my list so far:

Standard (Sainsburys):
2x Fission Cakes.
1x Daredevil Missile Cake.
1x Space Attack Cake.
1x High Fidelity rocket pack.

BrightStar:
1x Towering Inferno 49 shot barrage.
1x Polar Punisher Rockets.
1x 25 shot small fan barrage.
1x Sizzling Sentinels barrage.
1x other rockets

NightStar:
1x Barrage Blast pack.
1x 200 shot Missile Attack barrage.

Aldi:
1x Memphis rocket pack.

There's no firework warehouses around here for me unfortunately which means I have to shop around at garden centres and supermarkets. I'm still after a few Men Shun fireworks which my local hardware store sell BOGOF. Probably a Jailbreak barrage and a Darkness Invader free!

Where are you from? Men Shun at Buy One get one free (assuming it is genuine RRPs) is a pretty good deal, especially if they let you mix and match.

Hopefully getting a few Bright Star barrages soon.

How would anyone rate the following if you've tried them before? Or have they changed with New Regs do you think?

The Slammer
Bunker Buster
Stinger
Wrath Of The Gods
Seismic Strike (maybe)

Thanks.

Better late than never...




Altho the website here says -
Each candle produces a five
stage whistling, crackling comet.

But the pack and salesman said otherwise....... hmmmmm

[Gigantic Crab!!!]

Gigantic Crab!!! says Starsky72's obvious concern was regarding the legality of selling "airbombs" to the public, as they were banned some years ago.

I thought only single shot ones were?

[Gigantic Crab!!!]

I can't even remember, it's been years since I've bought small consumer fireworks.

[Firestarter]

I've had Wrath of the gods before....its a bit of a chugger but its got some good, mixed effects and is decent for the price.

Seismic Strike looks decent enough also for the Price

If they are new reg, they will certainly have changed- these were all flash based effects! However, stock may well still be old regs - often it actually says the year on the back- if not, on the carton it came in it will say the year.
