You too can own a Gears of War 2 Lancer? But why?

Yes, you did read the title right and we're just as amazed/shocked/confused about it as well.

If you're willing to spend the equivalent of $130 for a special edition of a game, then you're clearly off your rocker to put it blunt. But being able to own your own lancer? That is quite a tempting offer.

It is clearly a lot better then the previous crap offered by special editions bundles such as the Bioshock miniature Big Daddy which was one of the worst quality figurines I've ever seen or the forth coming Fallout game which will give you an alarm clock for $60. This is the one special edition which I am very tempted to buy if I had money coming out my ears (That'd be a sight eh?).

The Xbox 360 is surely an item to avoid

[Atomic]

now the Xtards sheeple will bite into this travesty like a fish biting into a bait.
crap toys like these costs a couple of dollars per unit to make in sweatshops in China.

I'm A Stupid Xbot, I don't want to hear my xbot comrades complaining about their Lancers breaking on them.

[Sony sucks balls]

Ooh you Sony buttfu<ks make a cute couple. They have special sights for your type. Maybe you knob gobblers could get a private chat going or something. You two could go on a date and ride your scooter nut to butt just like you both like too. Peace out Fanny bandits !

[etownone]

This is obviously aimed at:
1. the most hardcore of Gears fans
2. Kids
3. collectors.

I bought one the minute I heard about it and upgraded it to the limited edition for 10 bucks more. why you ask? I have a 12 year old kid, and Gears and Halo are his favorite games. Last year the legendary Halo 3 game with helmet was his 07 xmas present and he LOVED it. So, basically I just bought him his xmas present for 08.

[silverchode]

and people who have money.

[pow3r of t3h c3ll]

cus your a stupid 14 year old aka the average 360 gamer so you can play space marine and locust wars!

[n4gzz]

Its their Money to spend however they like. Gear2 is first day purchase for me but not spending over 60.

[green]

This is a very lame article because it brings absolutely nothing new to the table apart from it's flame bait headline, which has obviously let the dogs out in the open zone.

Anyway, if people want to buy the lancer, then great for them.Why should anyone tell you how to spend your money?

[meepmoopmeep]

is there a more detailed article about the lancer? like the size and whatnot? sounds pretty cool.

definitely aimed at the hardcore Gears fans, no doubt.
$130 is expensive though, unless it's that same one Cliffy B is holding in that pic.

[outlawlife]

it isnt anything like the one cliffy has, those are sold by a prop company for a few hundred bucks and are hand made to order and extremely high quality

from what i've come to understand is the one that comes with the game is pretty big but not 1:1 size and basically just a hunk of plastic like the halo legendary helmet

[Mr_Showtime1]

It's 3ft long, has a removeable clip and a motor inside to replicate the chainsaw sound.

you can check it out on gametrailers tv comic con episode!

[meepmoopmeep]

ummm... is this the same lancer in the LE edition or that $300+ one we saw a while back?

[Mr_Showtime1]

It's an amazon exclusive and if you buy the lancer you get a copy of the standard edition of Gears 2 for free.

http://www.amazon.com/Gears...

And the guy that was talking about it on gametrailers mentioned it being available with the game, so I assume it's not the $300 model

[meepmoopmeep]

oooooh, nice

that's well worth it then!
it's too bad it's not bundled with the other LE version though.

[WickedRabbit]

I dunno this is definitely one of the cooler collectible items. It's pricey, but cool. Lets just hope it's not cheeply made like the majority of other crap items that have come with these limited edition games over the years.

[Alpha_Gamer]

I`ll just get the limited for 70. Another kickass game, in another kickass tin case is perfect for my shelf.

[dazzalfc]

I think its great personally. It will virtually come of no use, unless you go to a fancy dress party as a character from the game, but theres nothing wrong with it if people want it. Its a collectable, and who knows, if the game does become great, and this becomes a hot product, it may well become a collectable and worth something to a gamer someday

[RAM MAGNUMS]

why not get them a lancer?
the cops will finnally shoot these poor bastards.

These guys spent the summer buffing masterchiefs
helmet. Of course they are gonna buy more toys.

That's why I use a real console, with real games &
the guns I play with shoot real bullets.

I bust a cap in dat xbutt for real.
Just kidding.
let the rrod do it to you... Again! HaH!

[highps3]

I thought the Ps3 was going to have more expensive games for blu ray. It's a clear sine games will go up in price soon.

Stop buying garbage!

I cant wait to see on the news when one of these kids brings it some where only to get shot by a cop thinking its real.

[outlawlife]

it isnt the games that cost 100+ it is the extras that come along side, all it does is provide consumers choice and people to have a chance to own something that they enjoy, or collect

i'll stick to my normal priced games because most of the extras are useless to me anyway

but it has nothing to do with ps3 vs. xbox so don't try injecting the fanboy arguments into something that really has nothing to do with it

as long as the regular priced game is offered this isnt even close to a bad thing so keep the fanboyism in the open zone where it belongs

[Lumpyluf]

the games are not ever over 60 bucks, unless limited edition, some are even cheaper, banjoo kazooie nuts and bolts is gonna be forty bucks upon release, this is just so expensive because it is an awesome deal! Im most def gonna get it!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

That's pretty cool,if your into gears of war that is.I wont troll about it,its only 130$ hell,i spent 700$ on a freakin Gun metal grey MGS4-PS3 (-_-)

never even use the f*ckin thing (-__________-)

[The_Firestarter]

I honestly see no problem with them selling the Lancer. Hell, I wish they did this with DMC4 and life-size replicas of Ebony & Ivory.

I'm just glad GeoW fans get the choice to buy themselves a Lancer. ;)

[Mr_Showtime1]

The only thing I would want more than a lancer with my game...is a sackboy plushie

[Roukuko]

lets see i can get a stupid lancer thats gonna sit on my wall, or buy a 2nd game duhhhhhh who ever pays 130 for this is a moron
