Update: No ''Official'' Gears 2 Lancer Bundle

Update: No ''Official'' Gears 2 Lancer Bundle
Written Tuesday, July 29, 2008 by Alan Pettit

It was confirmed today through a Microsoft rep that they will not be offering the rumored $130 bundle (with a replica lancer) that a Gears panelist mentioned at the SDCC this weekend. However, the replica does exist and will be offered through amazon.com, which has been known to create their own bundles out of various things. It is still a possibility that you will see a bundle as described before, but it may only be available via amazon.

Well looks like im gonna be shopping On Amazon then...
But if Bungie & Halo 3 was willing to Offer a Full-Scale Helmet in their "Legendary" Version for +$100

Epic should offer the Bundle to offer more for the consumer

Plus having a LANCER Around would be a great add with my Helmet haha xD

I think its pretty stupid that epic knows people love gears and have such a big community and they still dont make a insane edition or legendary I mean dammit I want my moneys worth cause the limited edition not impressing me

Comment #19 by cOmESeEMycAgE
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 @ 05:31:43 PM

#18- you get your money's worth when you buy the game. Epic doesn't owe you a piece of crap plastic gun or whatever other gimmick you're hoping to buy.

Taken directly from a teamxbox.com article: "TriForce Sales, LLC announced today that it has started taking pre-orders for the 1:1 scale replicas of the Lancer Assault Rifle ($949.99) and the Locust Drone bust ($549.99). " So unless you got some serious cash to spend on this, I doubt too many people will get this package.

*sigh* looks like it will just be like the Fallout 3 survival edition by Amazon.com. After some pictures I'll figure out if I want it or not... most likely not though.

That sucks, well at least I won't having to save my money, like I'm not already, for this. I'll probably get the Limited edition.

I getting the $70 Collectors Edition and the stuff coming with that is all I need! I mean I was already sold on the book with character profiles, but a GOLD LANCER for me to use online is just too awesome, murderin' in style baby!

I'm in agreement with the folks that say its too much dough for a fancy looking paperweight. I will buy the collector's edition. I like getting the tin cans and the golden lancer is kind of sweet in my opinion.

What would we do with a lancer.......

Comment #47 by RustyValtrex
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 @ 06:42:05 PM

take it to classes and get in trouble. if amazon does sell that bundle watch the news. it will happen because some 12 year old will want to be cool. i'm calling it. collector's edition is good enough for me.

I pre ordered this 5 months ago but since I heard about golden lancer online I changed it to special edition and thank goodness I don't have to change it again, but my friends will be pissin angry after I told them about this... hahaha... all in good fun, either way GoW2 definetly running for GotY 2008/07 with or without the replica package.

Sorry for double post...


I just could not believe how utterly retarded people can be when they say "1st". I mean as soon as you post your message it has a number beside your name saying "#whatever" so we can see without people typing it, how long has the "First Post Issue" been going on already?

It's apparent that the masses are not aware of the fact that the Halo Legendary edition did not sell as well as they had hoped.....I'm sure that has Epic a little concerned about offering a $130 package. Has anyone noticed how many of these "limited edition"s are still on store shelves?? They are down to $69.99 and people still are not buying them! If anyone does want one they are $10 off at Gamestop this week. That's probably as cheap as they will get before they just send them back and start giving the helmets away during promotions.

Depending on the price of the replica lancer I may or may not purchase it. I do know that I will be buying the Limited Edition Gears of War 2.


Who the hell finds yelling "FIRST!" in every news article fun and amusing? It's very stupid.
