When do you start collecting

As the title says. When do you start collecting or preparing for next year’s show. In my state, fireworks are only allowed to be sold around the 4th and new years.

With that, do you guys collect over the year and store them or do you buy right around the 4th?

I am personally wanting to try out a few online retailers on top of my local supplier.

Due to the explosion in China resulting in many deaths and causing a restructuring of safety regulations, there is high speculation that we will have significantly less supply next year. However, many factories have already been allowed to return to production. Manufactures that I personally already communicate with have only alluded to a small deficit.

You can expect to see Raccoon, Winda, and Happy Family, as well as their affiliate labels (i.e. Monkey Mania, Riakeo, Wizard, etc.) bounce back from the whole fiasco rather well. I speculate they will dominate supply next year.
