    Great video. Just saw this after having sent Phantom an email regarding my yesterdays visit. Great selection, very high prices.

    I'll be doing a tour of most of the stores in New Hampshire next week. I've already seen Phantom raise their prices back in May so it will be interesting to see the difference.

    Dude- go to South Carolina, if you're stationed in NC. It's the retail mecca of fireworks in the South! Jabs, Poor Paul's, Flash's, Fireworks Supermarket, etc. All are great places, and a HELL of a lot closer than Myrtle Beach!

    The phantom fireworks in Pahrump NV. It's buy 1 get 2 free and you can mix and match at same price. So it comes out to the same as all your other places you've shown. Thats all year. I think each phantom store is individually run so the managers sets the deals.

    My brothers and I went this past weekend and took advantage of the Father's day specials. That's the sort of thing you have to look for. We got the "Contraband" 24 shot Canister shell assortment for 70 bucks(reg. 170) Phantom runs great specials. We are premiere members and it has its perks.

    • @ericfe5172
      @ericfe5172 9 років тому

      Ross Love Just to add to what Ross stated, you have to use coupons at Phantom. March 2015 in Michigan they have Buy 1 Get 2. It is the only way to buy..... This year they ran a special, if you buy $99 worth you get another 500gram cake ($99 value) for $25 bucks. So I was able to grab 4 nice 500gram cakes (using the "B1G2" and the coupon stacked) for 140 bucks, tax included (12%). So you pay $35 bucks per cake which is what I expect to pay. I do not buy my mortars here. I found a place near me that sell Excals for 49 bucks...

      170$ for a pack of 24 shells??? Dude where I go for wholesale I can get a case of shells for 130-160.. that's 96 canister shells.. find a wholesale location because they screwed you. Just saying

  • @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics
    @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics  12 років тому

    No they aren't a national chain, but I shop at several different locations. One is the firework superstore tour video I did. Majority of my fireworks come from a seasonal location close to my home town

  • @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics
    @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics  12 років тому

    I've been to Shelton's several times since there is a location somewhat close (St. Francisville, Missouri). I was actually thinking about doing a Shelton's tour next week lol. Any insight to include in the video since you work at a Shelton's location?

  • @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics
    @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics  12 років тому

    That would be really awesome! I bought some stuff that I will probably mention in an upcoming video, but just some firecrackers. Unfortunately, the stand across the street was closed.

  • @wingmanalive
    @wingmanalive 10 років тому +2

    Went to the one in Chester PA yesterday. At first we were thrown back from the pricing as well until you find out everything is buy one get one. Then it's not so bad. Here's what confuses people. The stores are strategically placed close to state lines enticing out of state patrons. In PA, as a resident you cannot legally even enter the store and you have to show out of state ID to shop. In my state it's not legal to buy or possess fireworks so the whole ordeal is very sketchy, which they make you sign a waiver of liability statement protecting them. THEN, out in the parking lot is a patrolman hiding back in the lot. They can't legally stop you because as an out of state customer you aren't breaking any laws until you cross back into your own state. After that they have no jurisdiction anyway and can really only radio ahead to your state police to alert you are returning with illegal goods. Not worth their time over $200 worth of boom booms. Now if you back a truck up to the store and load $5000 worth then I'm sure you'd be tailed a bit and your info forwarded but it's not worth their time on the little guys. I really don't understand the laws as I can buy a gun in my state but sparklers and throw snaps are illegal. It's stupid.

    • @wingmanalive
      @wingmanalive 10 років тому

      None taken. I'm from NJ so buying fireworks isn't something you can do regularly. I know the tax revenue is more beneficial to the selling state and that's why they allow it, with no liability at all (hence the waiver you sign).

    If you're from the chicagoland area Boomtown Fireworks in Dyer IN is the closest place and has incredibly low prices. Huge selection of everything, you won't be disappointed. Only time I would ever go to phantom is for the buy one get two free, and I'd probably only get smaller things like roman candles and firecrakers.

    • @LooknJB
      @LooknJB 9 років тому

      You are right my friend!......I went in for the first time last nye and I was really shocked how low her prices are...I made two trips this year for the fourth and I plan on going back this nye. If you're close theres no way you're not going there...

  •  5 років тому

    Phantom in Pahrump NV is BOGTF on everything so if you're careful you can get a bunch without dropping too damn much.

  • @andreww8934
    @andreww8934 10 років тому

    The way i see it is that is your looking to do all your shopping at once at the same store Phantom is not the store to go to. But if u sign up for all the little clubs or what ever (the free ones) u can get there coupons every 2 weeks or so, with the coupons there prices are hard to beat. so u just have to shop the right way at phantom that's all

  • @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics

  • @mrmikemartin
    @mrmikemartin 12 років тому

    This is where I believe you can get the best deals from them. Of course I won't be spending as much with them this year. I have my Type54 and will put some of my budget towards professional fireworks.

  • @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics
    @JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics  12 років тому

  • @billwu072278
    @billwu072278 10 років тому +1

    I've shopped at many places for fireworks and I recently went to a phantom fireworks in Indiana. They too had the BOGO, but everything that I saw was marked up. For example, One Bad Mother cakes were $99.99, which is $50 a piece. I went to Jake's fireworks and bought the exact same thing for BOGO at $40, or $20 a piece. That alone, I would have lost out on $60 worth of fireworks.
    Heck, If you noticed the flyer, whistle bottle rockets was valued at $16.99, who actually would pay that much for cheap bottle rockets. Even expensive shops they cost about $9.99(Jake's had theirs for BOGO at $5.99).

  • @Tomsonic41
    @Tomsonic41 10 років тому +2

    Wow, they just have the fireworks on the shelves and let you pick them up yourself? In this country they usually have 'dummy' fireworks on display; the actual 'live' fireworks are stored in a secure staff-only area - brought out when you decide what to buy.

    Phantom prices are same as anywhere else. You just gotta shop at right time.. I went mid may. I spent 420 dollars. They have tons of coupons every year for different things. I used a gas coupon I got a 70 dollar item free. Another coupon for any 179, 99, 34 dollar item get those three for 99. Another coupon for spend 400 get 300 so I picked out 300 bucks of fireworks. Then bouns chart gave me another 120 dollars worth. I got like 700 dollars of free stuff and I got to pick it all out besides 120 dollars of it...

  • @PoeticallyIlliterate
    @PoeticallyIlliterate 12 років тому

    question: the buy one get one free deal.. is that only redeemable on one product? for instance i buy a rocket assortment and a package of silver salutes do i get two of each or can i only claim it on one item?

    @spongejuan 12 років тому

    I shopped for my fireworks at the Phantom in myrtle beach this year. Their prices were cheaper than the other Phantom stores since they don't have the buy 1 get 1 free, but for every $100 you get a free 500 gram cake. I was wondering if you suggest ordering online from a different place or driving to a location near NC. I want the best bang for my bucks. BTW I just subscribed to your channel

  • @johncampbell4478
    @johncampbell4478 9 років тому

    @b3d3g69 12 років тому

    I am from Washington DC. I travel to PA, which has the closest Phantom fireworks store to me.. I agree that some items arent cheap, but from my experiences in dealing with them, their customer service is great and I get a TON of deals sent to me by email(which is during the time i dont have any money...lol).. Also, i've narrowed down my selection of items, which saves me money as well..

    Our Meet Mr. Big shells are a huge deal. I know you have made a previous video on them. All of our State bombers are recommended.(200 gram cakes) We now have bigger boxes of canister shells. We no longer are just limited to the Meet Mr. Big 6 piece and 24 piece. We have numerous large boxes of the canister shell such as the White Rhino which is a 120 canister shell kit for about $300. We have a few new 500gram cakes here and there. If you have any questions on products or prices let me know.

    Spend 700 at phantom and it could fit in my trunk and back seat of my car. Spend 700 at wfboom and fill up the bed of an S10 truck with a raised cab and possibly a little overflow that you need to put in a 2nd vehicle.

    Interesting you should choose the Wright City store. Are you from around there?
    I'm not too far, in the Troy\Moscow Mills area and I shop at this store every year.
    Now I will have to agree the prices are not the best, but you have to understand that this is a brick and morter store. It is not a tent. They have to cover the extra expense of operating a building instead of a temporary lot with a tent.

    Phantom has very good brand recognition and they market their products well, but I do believe the prices even with the deals are still not that good. I have watched a couple product demos and their products do seem to have high quality, but I don't think that quality is worth 2-3 times the price.

    Its like you said...Phantom does have some good deals and promotions, if you have a higher budget.
    If your budget around 100 bucks you cant beat the wholesale prices for getting more for your buck
    Then again you can always mix and match, that's where the best value is and what I do and other people I know do, most places put their prices up online.

    I agree with you they jack up there prices, then say buy one get one free so half of 170 for the ex-cals = 85 so basically you are paying what they usually go for? Went there once and never again, I know some people cant really go anywhere else. Great video and thanks for sharing. Wholesale is the way to go lol .

    @theartofwastingtimex9998 11 років тому

    your right dude Phantom has awful prices, but unfortunatly they are pretty much the only nationwide firework company. They are the only one near me in florida anyway. The only way you can get a decent deal is to become a premier member and buy fireworks by the case. The best example would be the copperhead mini-shell kit. In a kit you get 6 shots, and a case you get 24 kits and with the 50% off it costs 144.50. That means 144 decent shots at a dollar a piece.

    Of course I bought something, when do you go to a firework store and not buy something! If you watched more of my videos you will see some Phantom product come up.

    one thing i will say about phantom..these stores are immaculate. the big stuff is always wicked expensive so it pays to wait for deals, as there are several throughout the year. anyway you look at it, you feel like a kid in the coolest toy store...there is definitely no 'running in for a second' shopping here! addictive collossal waste of money
