@@BobbySacamano just going to a few local shops in my area… I can get single shot tubes for like 12-15 bucks a piece. I’m not gonna pay 300 bucks for a assortment that only has a few of them.
@@PyroBros986alot of places dont have a “local shop” im a manager at a Phantom and the only other firework shops anywhere near us is a Skyking and they are over an hour away with similar prices.
I still have a Phantom sales flyer Phantom from 2008, the most expensive assortment is the A-025C Grand Finiale assortment costing a mere $79.99 and just looks like a better lineup full of assorted cakes. on the flyer itself there is a coupon for a free Battle of Yorktown A-016SC assortment which would regularly be $64. I get inflation but what the hell
MANY of us true pyros won't admit to buying this kit more than once!😊 Still my Fav. Assortment ever. Used to save the used tubes to smell throughout the year! 😅 actually my true introduction to mortar shells!! Over 35 years ago😮
@@catchthewind8563 We dropped 2k at Sheltons on the fourth. It wasn't bad. Prices were very nice and affordable, and they had more other brands then their in house brands like El Torro and Mad Hornet. This was in fair play sc, so idk about the rotation of their stock here, it might be different in Missouri or Alabama. Just dont get their in house brands if you dont want duds. i do agree the in house stuff is a little old
Been watching your videos as of late on a 4k oled tv, the colors really pop and it almost feels like i'm really there. Made me think it might even be cooler if you had some of these filmed in VR for the full experience.
If you spend a certain amount at Phantom you become a premier member and get discount coupons at least 2X a year. I got 60% off all my items this year.
my favorite rocket from my youth was the 'Texas Pop Rocket' with duel report. they still make them but now its a two stage with only 1 report, the other stage is a bit of sparly bits... far cry from the original but its still 'ok'
Those comets are the finale of those magical barrages. They just went kinda early, lol. That item is one of my favorite classics. They used to also make a crackling candle barrage- which was hella fun, and a liu yang barrage- which was a furious barrage of tiny bursts. Like the candle of yhe same name, but way more effective due to the higher volume of shots in the air. Ive always wanted the tube assortment, because tubes were also part of my early pyro adventures. It just never seems to make it into my cart... Its a long drive to the closest store, so i dont get there often. I DO get to their S&S tents, and will gladly pay the $, because they have some of the best high end fountains around. All tents are spendy, so Phantom is no worse than the others. Thus, i go to whomever has the best items. Ive always been happy with what I buy from the stores. Its just a tad salty. I mostly avoid the high ticket items, though. An hour or so further are 2 wholesalers- and they have HUGE selections of 500g cakes and tube racks.
Damn I used to work at Phantom years ago and these were $100! Used to do buy 2 get one free. I'd set people up with one of these, grand finale kit and uncle sam assortment. All 3 for $200 was perfect. The 3 assortments give you a little bit of everything. Crazy this is 3x the price now!
I remember the large single shot tubes in the early 80s cost $30-40 for one. My dad would say are you crazy because $25 was my bank role. lol $25 got your a lot of small fireworks back then.
phantom had buy 1 get 2 free all weekend (which is near, but not exactly retail) and 50% off assortments. if you didnt get at least that coupon from their site, then damn you got ripped
I've never been disappointed with Phantom except for their prices. It is best when they are doing a buy 1 get 2 free, that makes them competitive with other outlets. They have their best deals during the off season when they are trying to clear out inventory..
@@EdWolfram That would make this collection $100 which is about right for what you get. And its usually for anything of equal or lesser value so you don't have to buy 3 of the same thing.
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex 2 $6 dollar ball shell kits, 2 $4 98 shot pearl (magical barrage), two $8 single shot and 2 $10 single shot. Is a $50 total for this not $100. Phantom no matter how you cut it is a rip off.
I like phantom they have good product, but damn are they pricey. Especially out here on the east coast. A 24 shell kit for you in ND $189-$199.99 out here $279-$399.99
I’d like to make a request to see if you would do a review video of the Black Mamba shells. They tend to be at a nice price point so it would be interesting to see if it’s a good value. Love the videos as always!
I'm pretty sure those larger tunes are exactly thr same as Zenith #300 shells and we sell them for $8.99 at our tent. Lol you could buy 33 of them at my tent for $300
The last two times I went to Phantom in Indiana, I walked out. Their prices are ridiculous. I don’t know how they stay in business, because everyone I talk to about fireworks, says the same thing.
I prefer buying the items individually almost all the time at phantom or TNT. The Emerald City is a nice little 200g cake but I paid 10 bucks for it after 50% off. I'd rather have 8 or 9 real little cakes for under $100 than 3 cakes, 4 fountains and 3 candle cakes @ $150. Could use that other $60 or so on a small 500 gram cake and have a better time
The quality of Phantom looks good, but the price is nuts. I’ve always wanted to try Phantom, but I have never seen any in my state. Lots of BIG, Black Cat and TNT here.
Too much money for i’d rather just get a 24 pack of shells and put them up in the air like you said Cody just put it too much expensive but they are good shells good tubes
premier members get that for buy one get two free this year and they lowered the price to 269, they lowered the price of the grounds for divorce asst. $500 everything alot lower this year, still need bog2f deal lol
A 24pk.of 4" canisters hit harder, cheaper and wayyy more inside. Holy shit most of those were preloaded 1.75" shells at like $30 each....that's insane!!!!!
Ahhhhhh yessss I was literally waiting for this thank you, I literally had to go watch backyard unboxing videos. Still a good unboxing but just not like yours Cody 😭
Dude 300 is absolutely insane. Even buy one get one free on that is steep.
60-130 max
When Cody posts an assortment video you know it’s gunna be a good day
So ture though
Yes!!! Especially after a long day
I’ve worked at Phantom… it’s absolutely not worth it!!!
In what way? Like you can buy them separately for less?
@@BobbySacamano just going to a few local shops in my area… I can get single shot tubes for like 12-15 bucks a piece. I’m not gonna pay 300 bucks for a assortment that only has a few of them.

Yeah but red apple has high shipping prices
@@mistuhmiketherapper in store prices i meant
Stay away from Shelton Fireworks! We have had lots of duds from them. From what I have heard, they never rotate their stock
Facts! Phantom is a ripoff! I'll stick with wfboom and American Fireworks in Ohio!

MASSIVE assortment
thank u cody b for the video not a bad assortment
Cody needs to open up a fireworks store so he can post a video every day
Man what 💯🔥

Have a Phantom Fireworks in Racine, WI prices are outrageous so i just drive an hour to Hammond Indiana buy from a few location there.
A love they they are sow beautiful

I like that you talked about the pricing. It would great to see the cost of the items you shoot off..

Cody, when are u going to come out with ur firework assortments?
Love the videos I recently went to phantom fireworks and bought stuff
I remember when you could buy that kit for 150 bucks
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK C.B 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
love the vids man ! curious when you're doing the tiki bombs? i know you've said you're doing them in a previous video.
I never saw anybody get so excited,watching fireworks
Cody needs to team up w/Scott from Kentucky Ballistics.BOOM!!”WHOA!!!!”
Those single shots were big breaks! Thanks for the assortment video Cody!🎆🎆🎇🎇
They Used to Give this Assortment Away at Certain Price Points I think they also gave the NewYorker Assortment and Uncle Abe's Grand Finale too

4:15 Have you not seen the finale of the classic firework 96 Pearl before, Cody?
You can get this for $99 with a coupon sometimes...
Phantoms wind up and phenomena cakes you should check out, little pricey but look great
Feels good being this early to your videos 😂
NOT WORTH 300$.
They offer its 150 buddy with discount
@@bikegunexpert6010 Still terrible
@@bikegunexpert6010you’re defending phantom firework prices rethink your life
If it was 150 with no tax then maybe
What brand of fireworks has the best assortment for the least amount of money? Or what brand sells for cheap?
No way no how is that even close to being worth 300 (or even 150 for BOGO).
I remember the large single shot tubes in the early 80s cost $30-40 for one. My dad would say are you crazy because $25 was my bank role. lol $25 got your a lot of small fireworks back then.
C’mon Cody grab up those superior fireworks Great American assortments and demo them! 😅 🔥🧨🇺🇸😎

Love the videos Cody
Love these videos you make, Cody, Any firework videos you make, I'll try my best to watch them (if I get the chance)
Nice video....PS...Thats bend over pricing
Where can you shoot fireworks year round?
I like phantom they have good product, but damn are they pricey. Especially out here on the east coast. A 24 shell kit for you in ND $189-$199.99 out here $279-$399.99
Not worth $300, maybe if it was buy one get 2 free. Thanks for testing this kit out for us!
Overpriced fireworks but they do have some nice items 💯
The red fireworks are the best
If you can get a good deal in single shots, imo theyre better than NOABS because of the variety of effects
A bit pricey, but still cool 😎 👍👍👍

That's a pretty nice kit. Price was way too much though. Would only get that when they have a buy 1 get 2 free off season deal.

What magical tent is this I'll take 500 !!
You know, going to Walmart and buying a $300 trash can is more worth it. You’ll get more use out of it rather than single use
You can get 2 or 3 canister kits for that price which would give you a better show. No way I'd pay $300 for that assortment.
Phantom fireworks prices are ridiculous
How are you still shooting firework videos it's way past July 4th over here I don't know where you're at though
You must be new here. He shoots off fireworks all year round.
Oh I didn't know he did it all year round I know he shoots off a lot of fireworks 🎆
I've seen his fourth of July show which I loved it was amazing he's actually the best TH-camr that I've seen shoot fireworks 🎆🎆
absolutely not worth the price BUT I give them credit for making use of the space and putting the single shots inside of each other.
Some nice shots in there but what a joke of a price!
This year I got this assortment and the Utter Amazement for about $190, just under $200. I think that is a deal.
I wish you shop at a sky King one day and see if assortments are worth it
Wow cool
let's go! Assortment time!...and Phantom Fireworks too. you know something is about to be overpriced. lmao
I would rather buy wholesale sales to get my money back but i only buy fireworks near 4th of July
Phantom is nuts lol. Thats a bit($100) more than a case of the superhero 3" preloads cost.
Love the assortment videos!! Nice shells, would like to see the kit closer to the $150 mark…

As always, good fireworks just to expensive.
0:07 Actually, @CodyBPyrotechnics your actually right. It was 2 years ago.
Yeah I don't think that's worth more than 75 bucks
I got it this year for 105 with a coupon , think it's about accurate at 105
270 25% off which is what they are charging for it if you just walked in there, over 200+ tax is insane for what it is
Phantom fireworks grounds for divorce assortment is on sale $899 and 50% off this week so it will be $450 you should review it at that price
That thing use to be $100 some years ago plus it was BOGO..... ...Phantom literally raises their prices every year it's ridiculous
Lol In recommendations it shows the title as IS THIS TUBE FINALE ASS and it didn’t include the rest of assortment
Pricing on fireworks is crazy in the US and I'm saying this as a german. In germany you would pay maybe 80 dollars for an assortment like this.
If it was 150 I'd say it was worth it.
Pretty pricey...maybe $150 and I'll consider it.
300 for that holy s
Hard to beat that kit for 300 bucks!
Too much money for i’d rather just get a 24 pack of shells and put them up in the air like you said Cody just put it too much expensive but they are good shells good tubes

Just got this for 104.99 locally
I live in California so I can’t get fireworks it’s very depressing
Try looking
i want it
With that money, you can get 2 and a half 24 kits of cans. Phantom's prices are such a ripoff
300 would get me about 3 shell kits
