so I've just got back from Epic! my budget was £250 but after racking it all up it came to £260....not too bad more than double my budget from last year, but i worked a lot of overtime to pay for it


Guidos Party Pack, came with most of the rockets in the picture, i asked them if they could sap the super stealth rocket for the sky thriller and they did nice chaps! Only extra rockets are the Mega pack, Echo Bomb & 2x Sky Force.

Black Cat Master Mines & Moon Boom mines, Battle for Iwo Jima barrage pack (anyone tried this before?) 11 barrages for under £13 ... bargain! 2 Black Cat Silver Pyramid fountains, Krazy Klock Wild Horses, Cyborgs, Brothers Choice Imperial, Thunder King, Six Machine, & 2 pen lid cakes *gasps for breath*

So, anyone whos got their stash together, or part complete...post a picture and lets see! .... off to get these safely stored away, splitting mine up into 2 displays, the more tame stuff for here and the bigger stuff we're having a little get together at my brother in law's who has far more land to set them of from!

Lovely stash that Jindivik. Thanks for the pic, I've got quite a few same things as you, I'll get a pic up soon as I can but my stash isn't complete yet, still a few more bits to pick up!

Was you tempted to get Heavy Duty?

Went to epic last week, around £350 spent. Very

[concept]

Dunno what just happened with that last post? Anyway, £350 spent at Epic, cannot recommend them highly enough, for example they don't look at you like you have handed them a dead baby when you ask "is this item 1.3G" (like most shops). They even threw in a free Sky thriller rocket.

[jindivik]

Prestonboi, i wanted heavy duty and a lot more but overspent on my budget already haha, glad you had a nice trip Concept, they are great guys aren't they? I just test fired a Tomahawk rocket & all i can say is WOW! massive break, i was afraid the stars wouldn't burn out before they hit the ground...can't wait to fire up the sky thriller now

There are firing systems available to the consumer - Launch Kontrol

People with appropriate professional experience and training also have ways of firing items in quick succession.

Just bought a Launch Kontrol unit myself from ebay @ £15 cant go wrong although next year im thinking a 12ch wireless transmitter/receiver for £15 with a 12v battery for £8 and home made ematches. Pyro gets really addictive doesnt it!

Sorry for being off topic of orig post.

I would love one of those krazy clocks. They are really impressive. My kids would love them.

It usually takes us about 3 hours firing in 1 or 2's but we like the stretch the night out.

[ad_the_man]

Mostly from Epic, but some sovereign cakes and a nice Absolute Radiant from Dave @ A40. Display should last about 8mins as there are plenty of doubles in there plus I will be firing with overlaps using my trusty new Excel blowtorch, and have ever planned out where they wil go in the garden.

My highlight this year was picking up x6 King Hells from Epic, which caused quite a stir with the workers there. Seeing all 6 let off simultaneously at the pre-GFN meet last week was something to behold!

Here is my 2009 stash.

A mixture of Kimbolton & Epic, this is my first year with Epic so I am looking forward to how they compare to my Kimbolton fireworks.
