In this video we talk about different ways firework companies can help reduce prices on consumer fireworks in America. Specifically, NOABs, Canister Shells, and Single Shot #500 & #300 Tubes which have all risen significantly in price since the early 2000s even though they are essentially still made the same way and have the same shipping rates. This is a problem that Raccoon is working to fix.

Holy nishiki are the s**t. I blew them up this pass 4th of July. I can't wait to pick up some more next year. Awsome video Cody.

The best part is that Racoon has some of the best performing fireworks on the market right now.

Love these types of videos! Very informative and gets people otherwise unknowing on about some of the things behind the scenes in consumer fireworks. Here’s hoping more companies get clever with their packaging and pass a smidgin of those saving down to us. I run a tent on New Years for a company and always get a bit nervous seeing the price jumps. Here’s hoping they start plateauing and dipping.

All torches lit to the finest pyro on all of KZread, thanks Cody B!!🔥🔥💙

Raccoon does it again! Totally agree Uncle Sam is the best compliant consumer noab available. Saw an early news release about packaging. Very creative! Let's see if the savings on freight really trickles down to the end users?

Funny thing, I paid way less for my current stash for 4th of july 2023 then I paid in 2019 and 2020, 21 and even this last 4th that just passed. And I got more cakes and shells this year then all previous years. But definitely agree prices on avg are getting outta control.

Raccoon is a brand I can trust

I think this kind of seals the deal for buying directly from Raccoon. Buying cases has never been more appealing. Being able to buy a NOAB case and get 2 different ones is, in my opinion, ideal for the home shooter. You get a case discount and variety. WIN WIN. It will also be cheaper to ship direct from Raccoon and they usually have pretty good shipping deals around the 4th.

Smart of raccoon. Because they sell at same price. The savings is all in the shipping. Should be a win win for raccoon. Retailer and consumer.

Just that sneak peek at 31:13 made me excited to watch your next video. Keep up the great work, fellow pyro!

Cody, this is why I love you and the channel been saying this for the last month about Raccoon doing this compact pack and I’ve got every kit that you’ve demoed. I’m glad you did them justice peacock spider shells ,the flawless shells. I’m surprised you didn’t have six ring canister shells cause I got six ring ones along with all the Nishiki and just awesome video man great Content I’ll be on the lookout for those single shot tubes. That’s the only things I haven’t gotten yet from Raccoon other than that awesome video Cody keep it up brother just simply amazing🧨🔥

I know that a lot of your rating is based on noise, but for effects I rated the cans in order of my favourites 5, 1, 4, 3, 2, based on effects then colour. Congratulations to Raccoon for their cost cutting measures. Let’s hope more firework companies try to emulate their model. The NOABs definitely showed a good range of effects.

Great content as always. It looks like Pyro Packed shells packaging has made a huge influence here being one of the cheapest sets out on fireworks+ great to see Racoon coming in quick with this update. I'd like to see a side by side comparison with Uncle Sam vs Mother of all Bombs I wonder which one has the better willows.

Thanks Cody! Excellent analysis on the raccoon shells. Love to save money!!!❤👍😎

LOVE RACCOON VIDEOS! Definitely my favorite firework brand :)

And as always, I gotta say more when I reach thousand subs last month, give or take I did uncle Sam and I was right under it. It’s like being inside of a firework and I just got another one actually what you got I got an uncle Sam with neon rings for 150 can’t beat it and do just appreciate your channel. And the time and effort 🧨🔥have gn pyro brother

Just got in some Racoon Mother of all Fireworks in the new packaging and loved it! Takes up so much less space and really hope it takes off across the different vendors. So much less shipping, shelf space everything.

Absolutely some of the best shells on the consumer market! Period! Great fusing method too!

It is the shipping cost that makes ordering online so hard for me

Great video this was great and I know I need to order some of these shells for my show.

Great video Cody!!

Great information as always

Great colours, the blues and greens and consistency.

I haven’t purchased any noabs since covid hit because of the prices. I remember when I got one for $35 and 2 for $79.

Great video Cody

superb video. thanks a lot

Beautiful shells. I LIKE IT. Best regards from Germany 🙂

Is great timing on the single shots

Definitely good idea on the tubes

Those are some of the nicest shells I've ever seen

Maybe I'm easily Pleased But I Thought they Was all Amazing but the best for was the one that sorta hung in the Air and seemed to cover the whole Sky Great SHow Thank You Both

I'm a huge fan of your videos.i love fireworks 🎆

I love the single shot tubes to I always buy a few for the forth

I love it here in Oklahoma i go to Jake's and they carry a ton of world class and you can get the Excalibur 24 premium pack for $99 and cakes are anywhere from $10-$150 but not much more then that, the single tubes are like 7-$10, the only thing we don't get is rockets, we have like ONE rocket and one buzz bomb and that's about it anywhere you go lol

overhere in texas like 3 years ago excalibur shells use to be 109 now they 180

That cat at 0:50 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️💨💨

The compact packaging is probably the best way to bring prices down by being more efficient in shipping. The cost to ship a container has gone up so much that for some product the cost of shipping the container has now surpassed the cost of the product itself. More stuff in the container = better prices and still be profitable.

wow that's crazy I didn't know the single shots are that much, at our firework store we have them 14.95$ per

Nice video cody ,, anyone know why there isnt any shell kits that are like shells from a noab ,,like 2 5 inch ball shells that break like noabs ,,

Great video, pretty interesting and some nice fireworks. In regards to the single tubes, do the #100 #300 #500 numbers mean anything? Sometimes I think see them as just #1 or #5, that sort of thing. But I've even asked firework sellers and never got much of any answer that it meant anything, I think the worst answer of all time was "it's just the number in the kit" which doesn't make sense at all, like a kit of cannister shells are labeled 1-24 or whatever!

@CodyBPyrotechnics

I think it has something to do with the size of the shell, #500 being the biggest

My work sometimes asks me to take a delivery (to construction sites for concrete supplies), as my main job isn't driving anymore. Today they ask me to go out, and it ends up being by the firework place....I'm like, you know what happens when I go by one of the places guys. Came back with a pack of Growlers, at $180. Yikes, these prices have gone up. I believe the store going the other way, about a 45 min drive or so, has Raccoon products. I'll have to check them out now.

what camera do you use to record at night when youre lighting fireworks?

I'm really digging the new packaging, thank God for Raccoon. They are my favorite shells and cakes!! With the new fusing method, have you had any mishaps with the shell bursting in the tube, do the drilled holes compromise the integrity of the launch tube than if it wasn't drilled out?

@CodyBPyrotechnics

We have had a 99% success rate for over 3,000 canister shells. Not low breaks. The only time we have ever had issues is when we are using ball shells, because the diameter is not up to par with the canister shells

Do you think you'll ever get your 1.3 license? Of course, a lot of your content is geared towards showing us what we can do if we're looking at the right products, but I feel like some people (including myself) would just love to see the biggest and baddest you can get every now and then. Especially when it comes to the shows you put together.

Elite fireworks 2023 will take over next year

Have u seen Golden Tiger Fireworks ?, from UK shop in videos.

Prices for cans have gone up an insane amount, I picked up some black cat 6” shells and it set me back $130 just for the kit

Even in the uk the prices on certain cakes that were 20 pounds have increased to 30 and rockets that were 20 a pack are 25 30 So we feel it too and certain main stores in the uk have taken advantage but you can still find a good deal I think after covid fireworks took a huge hit and lost alot of factory time and custom Next year should be cheaper but who knows
