I wanna get some awesome fireworks this year but I don't know too much about them.Also I don't wanna spenda whole lot like I wanna keep it under a $100. I've seen those big boxes that are atleast a $100 or more to buy, but i'm weary about them.

Last year was the first time I bought a bunch and I boughtsome sparklers thinking they were the kind that u shot through a tube lol. which sucked.....But I found these small cylindrical things that were $1.50 - 3.00 each that said 30 or 40 shot on them, which I found pretty good bang for the buck.

In my state they sell a wide variety. So if you have any ideas or knowledge about good fireworks, and/or the best you can get for cheap. Let me know, thanks.

 

Fireworks are illegal in IL. No fireworks for me.

 

there leagal in texas but i dont go wasting my money on fireworks sorry.

 

sorry you feel that way.....I think there fun, and quite enjoyable aslong as you do it safely and use caution.

 

is it legal to shot off fireworks that go up into the air more than 20 feet?

 

I use to live in IL and that never stopped us. We always had a huge show every year. You just have to drive to Wisconson, Indiana or Missouri. Fireworks are legal in all those states. Just be careful not to get caught bringing them over the border. I think its the hardest to get back from Indiana with fireworks. They have cops sitting on the boarder with computers watching license plates.

 

I don't really feel like driving an hour to get fireworks. I doubt I would get caught cause I'm pretty sure I can find some good hiding spots.

 

aight here in NY its totally illegal to have them but yeah i go to PA where you can buy them if you are an out of state resident....NO ONE in PA can buy them lol...so yeah fireworksrus.com...i go to the store in PA not order them offline.
is where i go to get mine.....heres what you buy
1- a **** load of TUBES(mortors)---preferably reloadable(they make the big explosions in the sky)
2- CAKES!!! 250gram and the best is 500gram<--- absolute insanity with those things, they run about $30
3-Rockets---get bottle rockets so you can shoot those of during the day--then big rockets for the night ask the guy behind the counter cause there are so many different kinds
4- SATURN MISSILES- its like having 25 bottle rockets go up one after another with chasers
5- FOUNTIANS-- i dont like them they are boring to me but yeah some are cool they just shoot sparks and colored ****.

TUBES AND CAKES FTW!!!!!!!!!

 

$100 won't get you much, but you should be able to bring home a few decent ones.

I was lucky enough to grow up 15 minutes from an Indian Reservation on which they sold every imaginable kind of fireworks. These were always fun..



Definitely what you need to draw some "ooo's and aaahhhh's"

 

Yeah, $100 won't get you a lot. If you want something with a good bang, get some mortars/shells. Last time my friend and I did our own show we spent $2500 between the two of us, fun times.

I can understand that. I lived in northern IL about 15 minutes away from the Wisconsin border, so it was only a 30 minute drive for us.
