Man even seeing the black cat logo takes me back to when I was 6 years old. We had a box that was about half this big but as it went off it would spin on the ground. We had it tip over on us. Well everyone went running and trying to hide from the mortars because I was a pyro at birth I just sat there with no care in the world. Sure enough I got hit right in my chest and it knocked me backwards just enough I caught the curb and tripped backwards on my butt. I actually still have a very small scar from it but that didn't stop me from my love for fireworks if anything the adrenaline only made me love fireworks more. Almost everything I've ever gotten from Black Cat has been poorly made but because they have a whole lot of malfunctions they are one of the most fun brands. I have had several fireworks malfunction and explode like a M-80 or M-100 on the ground feet away from me over the years and all of them were Black Cats. 😹

They know people buy on brand. Maybe the cakes need to be weighed to see if you're actually getting that amount of powder.

I really appreciate your honesty! For 200 bucks that was a rip off

I enjoy the honesty in your videos and not overhyping things to grab attention.

Personally I thought it failed halfway through. Then the other view with your comments. I was shocked. You kidding me. I've had 500 grams that lasted longer and for 60 bucks. Sad. Thanks Cody for the heads up.

I'd punch myself if I paid $200 and I'm glad you said what you said at the end of your video....THIS is why I love your videos. Stay at it my guy.

The paper on top of the cake is a Spark shield.. I was expecting more from black cat.. Black Cat definitely isn't the best you can get anymore..

I was expecting double that duration and for it to have way bigger breaks. That felt like two 200 gram cakes... I seriously think some of the 200g cakes I lit off this past year were better than that... and they easily cost 1/10th of the price or less.

Totally agree, most every "finally" cake I've purchased, especially the combined ones are a major let down. They have the "grams" but are distributed among so many shots that it's not that big of a show. I'd rather have a 20-30 big shots for a finally.......from my experience that means mortar racks.

My thoughts halfway were, this feels like it should have maybe cost only $50. Glad everyone is agreeing on it being a bit lackluster.

Love the honest reviews. RESPECT!

Seriously just reminded me of a few Roman Candles LoL, I like Black Cat Fireworks, but this one needs to go!

The colors were some of the purest and brightest I have seen, but I was remined of 'Roman Candles" other than the depth /purity of the colors, not much there. That said, those color balls may be able to blend into , interact with others big cakes fired together.

I'm glad you said it's not worth $200.... I've seen you with a much better class of cakes. Thanks :)

I was expecting more for the price (larger breaks and longer duration) definitely sub par for the cost.

The beginning is awesome! Those colours

Cody you had me laughing 😂 he said I got ripped off 😭😂 then I heard you laughing when firework was going off lol

I love black cat fireworks, my dad showed me those as a kid. ❤️

Great vid really nice even if the cake was overpriced. Black cat fireworks is a go to brand for me. Their product has never failed me, and always has imo performed better than the competition. Large companies will try to capitalize on this knowing certain customers don't think twice sometimes on brand.

Agreed, that’s why I wanted to point out at the end of the video that I have no ill will towards the brand, in fact it’s not even their fault it’s the stores for charging $200 for it

Bro, you weren't rambling... you spoke facts. We pyro's LOVE your honesty and actual displays. You have saved me from disappointment and a waste of money way more than once P.S. My 9 year old daughter said you are super cool.... and be careful. (awww)

That...was $200!?💀 Nah that firework just violated your whole bank account that was @$$ tbh

The cake is pretty cool 🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏼

Really nice colors!!!

Happy belated B-Day Cody! Love your videos!

Black has been letting me down. I'm a black cat fan.

Cody is so honest.

I need more cakes like this in my life!!!!!

nice thanks for the video cody b

In the Netherlands, 1000 gramms compound cost around 80 dollar. We have up to 4000 gramms compounds. Max 25 gramms each shot. And they are connected with quick burning fuse pushed against each other.

That did exactly what $12 in roman candles and $20 in 200g cakes could do....but for $200 lol.

I'm glad you said it, those were not anywhere near worth $200! Maybe $50, but even then, the display was underwhelming to say the least! Not one for a repeat purchase, and a great service to those who can buy these, don't buy this one! 😁😎👍✌

It was black cat, I've always revered black cat is one of the best well I guess not always. You tried that's what counts hope your family is well. God bless

Blackcat is not what it use to b 30years ago. Cody u coming out here to IN for cobra con this year?

Nice show bro I love Black Cat

Great video cody

Most I’d pay for that is 30 bucks 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

There are definitely 50 dollar cakes that are much more thrilling than this one. To give it credit, I liked the variety of different effects they used.

You should do a Noab comparison video

Nice colors not bad but 200 is too much paying for the black cat name thanks for the video Cody

As a former fireworks dealer, their products are expensive. I must say though, certain items are simply the best available, such as firecrackers, moon travelers, smoke bombs, and fountains.

Here in New Hampshire, I just felt like a 1/2 an SUV full of fireworks. For 250 but none quite as spectacular as this which is why we light off two biggies at once so we have different colors and patterns

Suggest more assortments I love those

Nice to see you call out the package for what it was, an overpriced underwhelming waste of money. But hey, we’d never know if you weren’t out there showing us the products. Thanks Cory! 👍🏻🍻😎

Black Cat stuff is always overpriced.

Dude, don’t apologize. I did like somethings when I like those crackling streams that we’re going up through and I do like the color balls they were pretty vibrant because like I said in the prior statements, I am color blind and I see them colors clear as day, but hey, that’s how companies get better with their products by you critiquing them and say hey, it’s not worth the money now. Maybe black cat will try to make it worthwhile so don’t give up on them. Hopefully that’s what happens they make it better for the money so don’t apologize Cody you’re doing your job that’s good consumer reporting.

Yikes ! 200 bucks !! 😪😨

I do agree it isn’t worth the money. I did like the sort of continuous crackle effect. It kept goin for a while which was my favorite part.

Crazy to think that the legit compounds like 4/1 version of witch are only 80 dollars more than this

I agree with you color wars is a much better firework! Plus it's $80 cheaper! More Bang for your buck With color wars.

Why not cut down the sides of the box so that it doesn't block the outermost tubes? It bugs me. 😅

Great video Cody I always seen these and wondered but mot worth it now I know btw if you can demo wild hunt assortment by Raccoon thanks much appreciated

Very colorful but duration was lacking for that much money

Thanks for saving a lot of people $200, agree just not worth it. BC is riding on their reputation. Can't get away with that anymore.. Hoping prices drop a bit with lower shipping costs...

That's was sad considering it was from Black Cat.

I saw that last summer when I was shopping at Pyro City. I almost got it, glad I didn't. It's one of those things that catches your eye, and you think for that price it will be epic. Definitely overpriced and underwhelming. Still enjoy your video though, and I feel much better about passing it up.

The beginning and the middle were good, but the end was a weak. 😁

Considering that hear in Australia we haven't been able to purchase fireworks from about the mid 1980s I thought the 1kg (aka 1000g) Black Cat was pretty good, if not in cync. Have to take you word on the value

Good to know.

THANK. YOU!!! YOU. HAVE A BIG ❤ THANK YOU!!!!!❤👀😁

Man, for that much money you can get a way more powerful 1/1 cake on the streets.

I totally agree with you, glad you didn’t just butter it up. Good job on speaking the truth.

I try my best to call it when I see it, but I appreciate your comment because for some people it’s still not enough. Everyone thinks I’m either sponsored or getting paid to say good things about a brand and that is NOT the case

Interesting design. But quite lackluster firework display. Too bad they have not a good compounds in US. In last new years eve I shot SRpyro's compounds CLE4549 and CLE4546 and I paid about the same than you did for this compound. Definetly not in the same class

The duration was ok but the breaks were not great 🙍‍♂️. Thanks as always for sharing cody 👍🏼.

I've lived it before and if you don't get it exactly right it's a mess LOL. When I got it it was two for one so I got two of those for 150 bucks. Fireworks are just super expensive these days

As I was watching it go off I was thinking this is totally not worth that, you could buy a bunch of good 200 gram cakes for that. I will probably never buy a giant cake like that unless I win the lottery. I like buying more of the smaller cakes and just sit the family a little closer, way more fun !

I would love to see you review some of ELite fireworks products.

Still good times but ooooof that’s rough 😢

Cody B there is a bad ass company called hammer and Anvil fireworks. They are local to me in the Cincinnati tristate area. U would be amazed at their stuff.

Just make your own 1/1 at that point

What's the best canister shell case to buy for this 4th?

You could see Cody lit both fuses at the exact same time but the cakes were so out of sync. The whole point of these things is to try to replicate a Class B cake and this thing fell so short. I get they can't make a Witch Doctor but this thing wasn't even trying.

What sucks is sometimes on these compound cakes, the duration of the fuse within the fan slices in the cake can sometimes have big delays. It’s too bad that it happens but it’s very common in consumer fireworks

Does it shoot higher with the red plastic taken off ??

It was cool. But I agree on the price

Nice compound cake. You paid a lot less than what people in the 808 pay for cakes. Don't feel so bad about paying for 200

It would be a lot better at half that price

Buying wholesale, one can buy a lot of cakes for 200 dollars

That was pretty nice but for 200$ you should have gotten at least 2-3 of those for that crazy price. Black cat doesn’t really do it for me. We all get ripped off every now and then so don’t feel to bad

Hello 👋, please tell me what are best fireworks that I can buy from 600 to 100

Yah I’d rather buy a case of 200 gram cakes for half that price

1 350g sfx cake blows this out of the water. These big name brands (black cat/phantom/tnt) need to be replaced with sfx or red apple and let the American people celebrate the real way and get the best BANG for their buck! I know you can order online but some of us dont live in those states and the nearest sfx or red apple is 10 hours+.

And people say 1/1’s aren’t worth it. Can you tell the difference?

There’s a pyro city on top of the hill past phantom of that’s where

Exactly what I was thinking, not at all worth $200, Sorry you were ripped off Cody.

Just not the 200.00 Dollar Satisfaction, Not even Close

There's no way in hell that was 1000grams.

try this cake out if you can find it its a beast , Titanium Honey - 128 Shots

to me! Black Cats has a better fireworks then TNT does to my ears black cats even with the fountains they had a loud crackle sound then the fireworks from tnt but that just my opinion
