This is similar to the many cheap and cheerful selection
by dany...
boxes you'd find at ASDA;the products are indeed very similar to them. The teardrop head rockets at 25m are disappointing and with a small burst that wouldn't wow an audience, the fountains are a mix of garden and display types which would look positively poor at 25metres if used together at that distance. The equalizer is quite good sending up starbursts in lots of 3. The pop rockets are just that;whoosh then two little flashpops. The tiny fountains are quite fun,while the single shot Carnival roman candles are like a bombette rising and detonating with a good bang and colourful peony. The multishot 5shot and crackling comet candles are poor at 25m away and are tame. Sky Parade is a quickmix rapidfire cake of swirling whistles crackles and colourstars. The other two barrages are quite good as well. The sparklers are quite nice and are long burning being the bigger 18in gold variety. I would have liked to have seen a large Cat3 25m wheel of colours and effects included to round off the package;all displays benefit from a good catherine wheel imho. All in all a fair mix but like David says,you'd be better off buying separates of different sorts and having a display from them. However, if you want something simple to entertain the kids and you don't have time to pick and choose your fireworks, then it deserves a look. Fair value rather than outstanding. 3/5

Similar to the £30 selection, but with some slightly bigger rockets and another cake. It looks like there are a few more fountains and an extra Roman Candle. Not a bad selection if you can't be bothered with the "hassle" of choosing your own fireworks, although I personally consider it a pleasure.
But all things considered, there are probably better ways to spend £50 at the Firework Factory. There are loads of rocket packs available, pick them one you like the look off. Go for less fountains, and some bigger cakes- Possibly treat yourself to a finale piece.
That said, if you are in a rush this will do the job.
