Anyone else tried these? We had a pack at our belated display on Friday and they were dangerous! Dipped really low at point of explosion. I certainly wouldn't buy them again.
I have fired a pack, far from a novelly item the bursts were massive. If I remember correctly they did fire quite low but not dangerously low.
I think these have been incorrectly 'branded'. They should ditch the gimicky exterior, and just have them as a ball head rocket. The same with Pigs/Cows.
But, by having a 'gimmicky exterior' on a very good rocket BS have quite cleverly 'doubled' their potential market - enthusiasts & 'kids'....
I thought the same as yourself, but unfortunately that's not been the case I'm afraid. We all know they are worth the money, but parents struggle to pay those prices for 2 'gimmicky' rocket for their kids, no matter how hard you try and convince them. I had the same issues with Pigs & Cows. BrightStar should be selling both types of rocket, but in 2 guises: 'Gimmicky' and 'Normal', with slightly different price points.. All in my opinion of course. For the record, sales of Heroes & Villains have not been great this year.
Last year I had the same issue went up straight then went horizontal straight towards my parents house. Nose dived in to the lawn. I must say more than 25 meters distance and fall out range
Saw a couple for the first time earlier in the year amongst a lot of other pyro and was very underwhelmed. The Gold n blue especially was a bit limp. Maybe a one off. And they're not cheap!
