I went to my local tesco today and the only informations in regards to fireworks was a poster type thing saying "Fireworks on sale from 15th October."

[Dan2310]

Thanks for the info! Will be going to Tesco's on Saturday so will just wait til then to see what they have unless I see somewere else such as asda/lidl that are doing cheap boxes.

Again Thanks, at least I know that there selling fireworks now!

Sorry for a double post but I just wanted to make people aware of this:

Lidl are selling fireworks again this year from 21st October but the brand that they are stocking is the important bit!

WECO FIREWORKS!!

These are the ones Aldi used to stock and they used to be brilliant!

I have to buy some of these to add to my display so I am now debating over 2x cyberbox for £12 or the Firepack which is at £12.99 (I know these prices have gone up but they are still quality fireworks).

I might also pick up a pack of the £3.99 rockets which are cheap and wont be too good but I don't have any rockets at present!

Hey,

are you sure they go on sale tomorrow?

Its just that on their website it says from 21st October. Its just that I don't want to miss out on them!

[SnowRules]

I believe they go on sale tomorrow at Lidl

[Dan2310]

Yeah, they have changed the date on their website now, they will be available from tomorrow now!

Aldi will unfortunately be selling TNT fireworks again this year.

Shame that Aldi have gone back to TNT again and the selection is more or less the same as last year. I bought the terminal velocity rockets, they were quite good actually for the price at £10.

One thing that I have just thought of though, I wonder if Lidl will put the remaining stocks of weco they have up for new year at discount prices like they have done in previous years! Would be great if they did.

Those Terminal Velocity Rockets look pretty good for £10, will be going to pick up a packet on sunday

Wow that's pretty impressive if that video is accurate. A hell of a lot better than the TNT rockets I had last year from Lidl. Are they really new spec/1.4G?

[pyrogeoff]

Weco used to make very good rockets,the video looks good,but i still reluctant to buy any fireworks from supermarkets,but may get tempted lol.

Hey guys I managed to get to Lidl this morning before work and bought one of each of everything they had (plus 2 x 25 Carat cakes). However, on closer inspection I noticed one of the rockets in the bigger rocket pack (which I believe was called 'Cocktail of Rockets') looked very iffy indeed. I removed it from the packaging and the head is incredibly wobbly; it looks as though it is only just hanging on to the stick and would not require a great deal of force to remove completely. My heart sank when I saw this. The remaining rockets seem OK but not exactly the most sturdy I've seen (nothing like Marvel's Heat Seeker pack, for example). Safety must come first, and I really don't feel comfortable firing this, as I'm unable to judge whether it's safe or not. Had I noticed sooner I would have gone straight back to the shop and asked them to exchange it for a new pack, but I noticed too late and now I don't know when I'll next get to Lidl as I'm away this weekend and busy next week. I'm hoping I can get my brother to go in for me tomorrow to exchange it, as I'm worried that if I wait until next Saturday they may no longer exchange it / have any in stock.

I am quite surprised, though - aren't Weco supposed to be a quality brand?

Oh, and another thing - I may be wrong as I didn't have chance to inspect them fully before leaving the house this morning but neither of the two rocket packs seem to come with a launching tube. That seems a bit poor if that's the case!

Thanks
