Thank you, aferguson! I just picked up the ballista plus a couple of other Romans to round out my collection.

Andrew, I was trying to link right to the Roman Ballista from Blue Boy toys but it didn't work.
I always thought the company name was Blue Box.......

shipping to canada was $6.01 by First Class Mail. It's one of the choices on the list you'll be given.

these have been out for 2 years, I have 3. They are marketed under the name EPIXX. Google and you will find stockists.

EPIXX, thanks for the info. I think they sell under the Revell brand too.

Also a line of pirates I'd never heard of before

i wonder who makes those pirates? They're not great but at least it shows there's someone else out there making older military type figures.

As well as the ballista, i also ordered some galloping horses and knights with lances....going to make a medieval heavy cavalry charge out of them.

It'd be cool if someone would make a swiss pikeman figure, muskateer, medieval cannon etc. Lots of interesting stuff possible.

i just saw a preview of all the new papo stuff coming out this year. Nothing much of interest. A bunch of new knights, but all unremarkable. No other eras at all. Was hoping for some napoleonic stuff.

After last year's egyptian chariot, i was hoping for other similar cool stuff from them but it doesn't look like it for this year, at least.

BBI's warriors of the world line looks like a dead duck. So i guess the civil war items they had planned are a no go. They were also going to do napoleonic and wwi but doesn't look like any of it will happen now..

bah.

Yes, it's too bad about the WOW line. At least we got some cool Romans, though. Would have gone for the Civil War stuff if they'd released it.
