Great selection there :) Lots of variation & interesting pieces, what's the round thing with the multi-coloured plastic tops?

Just tested/inspected a Cyclops rocket with a missing head cap - DREADFUL. The "head" is simply an empty cardboard sleeve to give the impression of size, the rocket motor (thin yellow lower section) IS the whole rocket, this just extends into the head with a few tiny globule stars. The head itself is empty & the effects almost non existant. TERRIBLE. I can only think these were once good big burst rockets judging by the RRP of £34.99 & the Kimbolton name. If you're lucky you'll have old stock (heavy 100g+) Cyclops rockets. If they are like mine, take them back.

I'm afraid I'm 90% sure these won't be very good, I've got the exact same pack - can you weigh one? Did they have Kimbolton Spartacus 5 pack rockets? These are very good, if they had them and you can return the Cyclops for 2 packs of Spartacus I'd do that. (Make sure the Spartacus have the 8mm sticks)

I'll fire a Cyclops tomorrow if you like just to be sure, I've fired Kimbolton :

Achilles - poor
Titan - Excellent.
Spartacus 12 pack - 7mm stick, 80g weight - poor
Spartacus 5 pack - 8mm stick, 110g weight - outrageous thunderclap, superb burst rocket
Cyclops - not fired

Where is the garden centre & is all the Kimbolton stuff half price?

Nice selection you have there :)

Edit, fired Titan, huge flash burst rocket.
