Last year I had Cube's 'The Wall' as my finale piece and was not disappointed - does anyone know whether this firework is still available? I got it from my local (small) specialist shop but when I went back for New Year he didn't have any left.

I also had this last year, fantastic firework loved it.

Got mine from the Firework Warehouse but they also appear to have none left, they have something by Cube which looks similar called Radiation Outburst.

Galactic Fireworks had The Wall last year, e-mail them and see if they still do, mention this forum aswell...

Thanks. Do you know whether it was 1.3G or 1.4G? I'm just wondering how my small local shop was able to sell it if it were 1.3G, unless it was old stock.

Pure 1.3G thats for certain and I'm not sure how it was sold.

Theres a papershop not far from me that stocks a display case of 1.3G every year and I always wonder how.

This is my understanding, but I am not an expert.

I think it can be as simple as registering (ie paying) with the local authority, usually trading standards, sometines Trumpton.

There can be a max of 12.5 Kg NEC (probably at least 50 Kg gross) per cabinet and up to 25Kg HT3 on the premises even with no separation distance, more if they can maintain separation distances.

Even a tiny shop (<20M2) can have 12.5 Kg in a cabinet(s) within the shop area.

Just need to comply with fairly common sense rules concerning flammable materials, access to fireworks, 'actions on' plans etc.

There is 1.3 material which falls into categories 2, 3 and 4. The public can buy 1.3 cats 2 and 3.

So I guess there's a chance that some of the rockets this guy sells are 1.3G as well? I'll have to have a look when the season starts (it's a dedicated fireworks shop but this particular branch is seasonal only).
