On the one hand, buying these sets in their original boxes is really cool. On the other, there's a twinge of guilt taking pristine toys out of their packages. You don't get that when buying loose pieces. The photo here shows an incomplete ballista set that found it's way into the collection. The number for the boxed set is 7785 and would have included two ballista operator's and two silver knights. As the knights would have been any of the poses Britains made, I could've culled a couple from my stash and included them in this photo but chose not to. As you can see, a 'ballista' is little more than a really big crossbow and would have tossed outsized darts at the enemy or the enemies' fortifications. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
