Already knew about Cosmic as my post earlier but who is the second company is it Men Shun?

If so, from my personal opinion this is a range I was very disappointed with thought majority of the items were poor and slow paced, only ignition cake that really stood out was Sky Diving Devils, which was something unique but as for the rest poor. I thought the selection boxes etc for the family's were embarrasing as very bad quality and very very short duration.

Also with selling fireworks we test all our lines and when we fetched in the range we were very disappointed with the number of faulty items where not all fired and blown. We stocked them for one year and I would never stock again in my opinion very cheap brand and the firework quality is embarrassing. So if it is Men Shun I am not as gutted only feel for the jobs lost. Just my opinion.

I havn't seen that stocked anywhere yet- but yeah, it does look good!



Within our many ranges we stock we had the NG (Next Generation) them last year for the 1st time and they flew out, such a range of effects from one firework and a lot of varied styles, I was very impressed with the finale single ignition cakes were intense throughout with strong vibrant bursts of colour. Few of them I like was Peacock In Season, Razzle Dazzle, Midnight Celebration and New Year Festival. So I was impressed!! :)

I have lots of favourites, love the Royal Party range, Brother bit expensive but good quality so great fireworks, Cosmic range is very impressive also lots of variety and there NG range is brill!

Panda is very impressive too lots of variety, they are returning back to the UK as discussed with Mr Wang, they are looking for a new site for storing - not as many lines but still got a good range. I loved the Big Big World 19 Shot and also 49 Shot Metamorphous to name a few.

I love to many !!!

Well I have spoke with Cosmic on Tuesday this week as I received a phone call from one of the reps who I deal with on Thursday before Easter, saying that they had gone into administration that morning and all had shut up. However, I phoned them on Tuesday this week and spoke with one of the owners, he confirmed they have gone into administration however a new company is up and running and to give him a call next Monday, and running as normal with all the same lines.

So good news they are still trading and most peoples jobs are kept. :)
