Yeah- a lot of smaller pieces- good fun to light, or as part an informal setting off session, but perhaps not ideal for a display. Some of them look a bit tame at 25 metres.

I like to start big, have some smaller stuff for the young uns in the middle then end on a bang so perfect

Symphony is the same as Bright Stars Imperial Box I think.

I've had all the rockets in the box over the years as separte packs, Star Gazer, Silver Streak, Master Blaster Rocket and Trail Blazer.


They were all pretty good.

Can anyone recomend a decent cheap box of Garden Fountains?

I'm pretty short on fountains so been looking round.

Have singled out some...

Bright Star Family Selection Box, £4.99.

Tesco's £5 Standard Box.

Lidl's £4.99 box.

Anyone recomend any decent ones from anywhere around £5? Or had experience with the above, we've had the Bright Star one before but was a few years ago so can't remember.

The Lidl box isn't all fountains though I don't think.

I'm not after spectacular stuff for £5, but don't want to buy crap either lol.

Thanks.

Dynasty Brass Monkey selection box- some nice little fountains, colourfull, nothing special but for the price, you cant argue, roman candles not bad at all, there is one 3 shot candle. pictures will be uploaded soon


Dynasty flying gesse rockets- a small pack of 6 rockets, superb colurful effects, bargain in my opinion 12 rockets for £7 in morrisons.

[Prestonboi]

Thanks for the info!

Anyone had any experience with the £9.99 Standard Box 'Twilight' from CO-OP? It has 16 fountains, 4 roman candles and 2 wheels, I think I will get it tommorow.

I think it's either new or has been re-packaged from something else because I haven't seen it before.
