Hi all.

My local garden centre is now selling a select range of Kimbolton Products at BOGOF.

Witches Cauldron £9.99 at BOGOF
Ducks Playing In Autumn Leaves £18.99 BOGOF

Are they a decent enough brand? They do portfires as well!

Cheers,
Alex.

The autumn leaves cake is a nice mix of hummers and flying fish - great if you're a fan of those effects. Not sure about the cauldron cake, assuming you're not reffering to the set-piece! Not sure about the prices really, although I've seen the Autumn cake available for £8 per single unit elsewhere.

Kimbolton products are generally very highly regarded indeed. I've never been dissapointed with any of their stuff.

£8 for the Autumn leaves is a good price (its a decent piece)

Witches Cauldron is a 25 shot item Orange bursts and green hummers :)

Also they have Rising Phoenix for £5.99 BOGOF. Any thoughts of these?

Where can I see a video clip of any Kimbolton fireworks?

They also have Flying Fish feast in the Emerald Seas for £36.99 BOGOF
and...
Multicolour Spangle/Mardi Gras fan barrage £26.99 at BOGOF.

Cheers!

Rising Phoenix, Cat2 16 shot crackling tail to crackling bursts - very good 5m piece

Flying fish, new100 shot green strobe stars and mc fish, not bad at all - we sell them for £19-99 :)

MC Spangle, 30 shot fanned mini mine cake and bombette cake if I recall, Mardi Gras golden tailed comets and green twinkles strobe to red and blue mini stars not in our range, just didn't sell well despite being decent, definately worth a punt at those prices (to be fair they are good value at full price)

Kimbolton is one of the few brands that, in my opinion, stand up well being sold at their full rrp :)

Okay cheers for your comments. I was unsure at first if the smaller barrages were worth buying but I've since watched a few clips on YouTube and all their range have a great variety about them.

have a look at Kimboltons website for a range of larger, single ignitions, these are all fantastic items , good enough to be used in any professional display (i also carry part of the range on my website, but mentioning that would just be a blatent plug wouldnt it? :rolleyes: )

I don't want to go too far though. Local garden centre will have to do me. Was just asking what should I go for with the limited range they have?

Yes Kimbolton are good. Brothers / Royal Party and Absolute are better though.
