sorry for the poor res. i can't find a better one

Now, the 3rd deal looks to be incredible value for money - but i can't figure out why they would mix and match manufacturers...

the 39.99 box is http://www.cosmicfir...id=1&brand_id=1

the last box is dynasty fireworks ?


any thoughts ?

They are all Cosmic Brands. Fairly good prices but from a tired range. I guess they are having a clear out

Yeah- they are onld supermarket lines. Nothing wrong with them, of course- I'm using a pair of Piranahs this year, and a Cosmos.

Unless you can claim back VAT, it's £34.50, of course.

But yeah, it's decent value, just depends what you are after.

Gigantic Crab!!! points out that some of those fireworks are sold by Fireworks Crazy:
Golden Star, £7 for two.
Blue Piranhas, £10 for two.
Green Bees, £10 for two.
so they do not appear to be especially cheap.

WJAMES !!! Points out that he doesnt have any decent local fireworks vendors, and is only spending £50 this year.

[Gigantic Crab!!!]

Yes, and I was pointing out that they are comparable prices to a known quality vendor, so are not too shabby.

Yeah- there doesn't seem to be a good fireworks shop in Scotland- I'd guess your nearest would involve a long trek South.

There is "XS" mentioned in other threads, I think thats Scotland based.

[wjames]

yeah, xs stock is 50 miles from me.......thats a long trip when im only budgeting for £50 of "bought" fireworks.

Yeah- decent prices, although the selection is very limited - but it should be a decent enough selection- don't expect much noise, though.
