 | Comment #2 by boofarama Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:00:21 AM thats a good deal im getting that lancer at all costs |
 | Comment #3 by mentaljason Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:00:40 AM Lol Gears 2 isn't free the Lancer just isn't worth $140! I really couldn't see myself buying this. I gladly have Limited Edition preordered at EB though |
 | Comment #4 by XxM4RKSM4NxX Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:03:47 AM It depends...I'll buy if it's life-sized |
 | Comment #5 by HeatGuyStu Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:07:20 AM Yeah, I'm sure this'd get thru customs if i pre-ordered to the UK... |
 | Comment #6 by hellboundsoul Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:11:38 AM I'm game. I'll take one, please. |
 | Comment #7 by killthemall4444 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:19:37 AM Meh...that lancer looks kinda lame could have been done so much better. I wonder how big it is? Either way for $140...no thank you. |
 | Comment #8 by puma Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:31:55 AM i dont think the pic above is the actual item. looks like the lancer from the action figures. when they release actual pictures, i might consider it. i wouldnt have a place for it in my house though... |
| Comment #9 by puma Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:36:35 AM if its the one that cliff is holding in his hand in the other pictures on amazon, i'm sold. that thing is huge |
 | Comment #10 by Medaking Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:45:03 AM Limit 3 per house... In other words those pesky eBay supersellers cant buy the lot and sell them for like 50 bucks more to mega collectors :P |
 | Comment #11 by Spot2009 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:54:23 AM Go to Neca's website. There's a picture of the Lancer. Personally it looks like it's a miniature version, but who knows. I am buying it if it's life sized, but it may not be. |
 | Comment #12 by spiderlillyx187 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:55:28 AM oh great so now i can walk down the street wearing this and my halo helmet and lok like a rite twat! |
| Comment #13 by Spot2009 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:55:40 AM Actually, looking at the Amazon picture of CliffyB, the lancer looks exactly like the one they are selling. I AM BUYING THIS. |
 | Comment #14 by kiwi18 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:08:25 AM IDK how big is this. Altier was exactly lifesized... |
| Comment #15 by tevo780 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:11:36 AM im going to get this for sure better then that crapy helmet you got with halo |
| Comment #16 by Moremando Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:13:12 AM meh, i reckon yyou should be able to use it as a chainsaw, i'd be thier in my back garden cutting down trees :p but nope i gunna stick with the gold plated lancer |
 | Comment #17 by chris_stoke Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:19:29 AM That pic is really bad take a look at this and then see what u think I WANT IT SOOOOOOO BAD but being in the uk is going couse me problems i think :( any ways check this link out. http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/07/29/confusion-surrounds-130-gow2-lancer-bundle/ Chris. |
 | Comment #18 by Edable Giraffe Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:59:59 AM is there any chance of this being sold on amazon.co.uk? |
 | Comment #19 by MrRedrum Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 10:05:37 AM I am sold. I was already going to be broke from Fallout 3, Fable II, and Far Cry 2 in October then with Left 4 Dead and now this "deal" for Gears of War 2... I won't have any money for anything lol. Granted I'm only purchasing if it is in fact the full size version that it all appears to be. This is a much better amazon exclusive deal than the Fallout 3 survival edition. Also, thanks for the link chris_stoke. |
 | Comment #20 by b3nnyth3gr33k Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 10:53:38 AM is this in england aswell |
 | Comment #21 by cortex21 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 10:57:49 AM I don't know if this is for england but I have bought from amazon.com themselves and they have no problem shipping to the UK so I guess we can buy this as well. |
| Comment #22 by Edable Giraffe Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 10:59:43 AM the bundle isnt on amazon.co.uk, just the normal limited edition. Ah well im sure i can put that extra money to something that wont get me arrested |
| Comment #23 by Edable Giraffe Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 11:32:45 AM @21, we can buy it, but the game disc wont work on a PAL 360 so unless they make the lancer available without the bundle then i wont be buying |
| Comment #24 by Edable Giraffe Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 11:36:36 AM ok i just realised that the $150 is JUST for the lancer, i thought it was for the whole bundle. Damn thats expensive, too expensive for me |
 | Comment #25 by cOmESeEMycAgE Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 11:37:53 AM If you look at it like the game isn't free, it's only $80 for the lancer. That's still way too much a hunk of plastic. |
 | Comment #26 by Chaosflare Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 11:46:42 AM So, it's like paying $150 on the Collector's Edition, and getting an extra bonus. Not too bad compared to how other packages are; the Fallout 3 Survival Edition comes to mind. |
 | Comment #27 by TheItalianSnipe Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 11:53:52 AM that it awsome |
 | Comment #28 by NiceCheese Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 12:41:07 PM anyone having problems trying to order this from the UK, i know i am, just wondering if anyone has any tips? it keeps stopping me from ordering it as the address doesnt apply? |
 | Comment #29 by JRAPOCALYPSE Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 12:41:58 PM Worst designed weapon i have ever seen,the chaisaw bayonette doesn't even look like it is supposed to move,i have one of these i got through a friend and god knows how he got it but im selling it as it's cheap crap,not worth 10 bucks let alone $140. |
| Comment #30 by chris_stoke Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 01:03:58 PM i cant see us brits getting it :( plus i dont want to pay for a game i cant play and knowing my luck il get import tax on it so unless it comes to the uk i think il leave it shame tho would look nice on my wall |
 | Comment #31 by RRIKER Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 01:13:49 PM I can't find the damn sizes anywhere, but it's made by NECA (they do a lot of movie and game props/replicas) and they did the action figures for GoW (can bee seen in packaging behind cliffy b. in Amazon photos). |
 | Comment #32 by Major Akid Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 01:25:14 PM I would be careful about buying this off of Amazon. Last time I spent alot of money there, I didn't get my package for two months. The Lancer does look cool though. |
 | Comment #33 by StephenJ360 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 01:57:36 PM Chase your little brother with it? I'd rather just play the game instead of pretending to. |
 | Comment #34 by Mr Jonnysniper Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:09:09 PM WHAT ABOUT THE UK, WE DONT GET ANY LANCER DEALS ITS FUCKING GAY! |
 | Comment #35 by speedingsam Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:10:25 PM "Yeah, I'm sure this'd get thru customs if i pre-ordered to the UK..." lol very true is it life sized? or in game gun exlusive? |
| Comment #36 by Vorgier Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:17:46 PM Haha what a waste of money. They successfully managed a way to destroy fangirls... i mean boys' wallets. Gears of war sucks anyways. If you want real MP action go play something else. Halo 3 is better then this... and I hate them both. |
 | Comment #37 by mjc0961 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:29:19 PM "WHAT ABOUT THE UK, WE DONT GET ANY LANCER DEALS ITS FUCKING GAY!" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news-852-Soul-Calibur-IV---The-Great-UK-Achievement-Race.html Now sit down and shut up. |
| Comment #38 by xGoufx Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:33:17 PM well how how big would it be..... dont want to pay that kind of money for something thats small. |
 | Comment #39 by steveo46 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:38:16 PM laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. anyone who buys this needs to get a life. seriously |
 | Comment #40 by SP4RT4N360 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 02:49:18 PM An expensive kids toy for people with way to much money and no life " now i can run round shouting bang pretending to kill locust ........oh wait thats what the games for doh" lol i can buy something like this for a fiver in the crap store down the road would of been better as a six inch die cast with real fine detail then maybe.... lol at least the halo 3 legendary edition was stylish!! im gonna jst get the limited i get discount anyway so itll be cheaper than the normal copy lol |
 | Comment #41 by aosiding Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 03:06:25 PM "If you want real MP action go play something else. Halo 3 is better then this... and I hate them both." Halo 3 is the ultimate spawn of wackness. Story is great but MP is just cheap, whereas Gears is way more fun. And if this really is lifesize i would get it for display in my room. (Unless it falls on me while im sleeping heh). |
| Comment #42 by DMC Devil Boy Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 03:31:33 PM does the chaingsaw actually works??? >. |
 | Comment #43 by TheColdWolf Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 04:08:22 PM That thing looks cool:) Better be careful with taking it to school lol |
 | Comment #44 by Atarii Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 04:14:52 PM While it looks neat, it's $140.... That's too much for a toy, unless you're a hardcore collector. Also U find it funny they say you get the game "free" - no it's not free you're still paying the $140 for the toy, the game is being included in that price. LOL @ it being "free". |
| Comment #45 by Atarii Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 04:18:11 PM I* (WTB edit comment option) |
 | Comment #46 by DCB316 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 04:36:14 PM Product Features * Trigger Activates Motorized "Chainsaw" Sound and Vibration Feature * Side Handle Folds In & Out and Slides Back & Forth * Removable Clip * Created from the actual 3D data used in the Gears of War 2 videogame * Powered by 3 "C" Batteries (not included) It would be safe to assume that its full-sized since 3 "C" batteries are huge it inself. Besides, go to Amazon.com and look at the pics...there are 4 up there and 3 of them are Cliff B. holding the lancer and its full sized. |
 | Comment #47 by revenge7777 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 05:00:31 PM Noooo too bad this deal is only for amazon.com... |
 | Comment #48 by Ruthless Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 05:21:29 PM THAT IS SICK!!! I want it!!! Will the UK be getting it? |
| Comment #49 by haloboy123 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 05:44:04 PM 60 or 70 for the lancer |
 | Comment #50 by steelefan15 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 05:49:28 PM for people wondering if it is life sized, click the Amazon link at the bottom of the post and there are pics. Yes its very life sized. |
 | Comment #51 by stonedpimpdaddy Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 05:55:11 PM DANG!!!! thats badass! |
 | Comment #52 by dudecrazy108 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 06:17:08 PM Thats awsome and all but its just a little overpriced for me. |
 | Comment #53 by hoochie mama 88 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 06:19:35 PM holy crap that's awesome but not worth 140 bucks |
 | Comment #54 by Mr Arrow Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 06:20:46 PM I just picked up (pre-ordered) 2. One for me and one X-mas present. |
 | Comment #55 by Adram Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 06:51:48 PM This is a full-size NECA detailed replica model. Its purpose is to be kept as a collectable or a display piece. It's not a "toy" to be played with unless you're a kid or an idiot who wants to destroy the value. I can only assume people making comments along those lines are one of those themselves. I'm not a Gears fan, but I'm picking one up for the collection value. |
 | Comment #56 by BackerMan Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:07:09 PM WOW! |
 | Comment #57 by masterzach Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:18:55 PM id rather get the normal copy of gears of war 2 and get another game than pay $140 for a piece of plastic and gears |
| Comment #58 by Mr Arrow Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:32:09 PM Wow, Adram, why so uptight? I'm not a child nor an I an idiot but I intend to wield this baby like I'm Rambo. :] The collectors value of this is $0 - at least it will be when I'm done with it. |
| Comment #59 by CRU5TY Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:45:52 PM Dude, thats fucking amazing... |
 | Comment #60 by daman12369 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:55:18 PM not getting it unless the chainsaw really works. And yes Adram is really uptight |
 | Comment #61 by Genesis x360a Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:55:37 PM Omg i cant believe they dont ship to the UK looks like i'll be checking out Ebay |
 | Comment #62 by voorhees88 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 07:58:11 PM yay! i moved to america at the right time! in pounds, that's like 80quid, way better than the halo special ed! |
 | Comment #63 by finative Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:02:57 PM Damn you for taking advantage of our American dollar! :p I'll just wait 2 years and pick this up on ebay for $20. |
| Comment #64 by finative Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:04:37 PM Who am I kidding? I'm 24 and don't play with toys anymore. |
| Comment #65 by voorhees88 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:06:32 PM lol |
 | Comment #66 by braddelo Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 08:09:58 PM meh. Looks kinda lame. Way too expensive for a toy. |
 | Comment #67 by N00B EATA Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:10:59 PM If only the saw blades could actually cut things =D and maybe shoot bullets while they're at it? =P |
 | Comment #68 by hansen578 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:47:42 PM lol thats like saying buy Gears of War for $400 get an xbox 360 for free! |
 | Comment #69 by Jdm7399 Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 09:49:10 PM I changed the picture. ;) |
 | Comment #70 by Jmashed Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 10:12:20 PM novelty items, these lancers will be in your closets in the next few years, forgotten and lonely like the rest of your kids toys. |
 | Comment #71 by YanksForTheWin Friday, August 08, 2008 @ 10:35:27 PM Complete waste of money unless your gonna collect it and not open the package... otherwise save your money. |
| Comment #72 by killercloud17 Saturday, August 09, 2008 @ 03:40:51 AM I am up for this. it looks like it is life size from the images on amazon. plus when you look at the product freatures it has: Trigger Activates Motorized "Chainsaw" Sound and Vibration Feature Side Handle Folds In & Out and Slides Back & Forth Removable Clip Created from the actual 3D data used in the Gears of War 2 videogame Powered by 3 "C" Batteries (not included) |
 | Comment #73 by Dead by Don Saturday, August 09, 2008 @ 05:05:52 AM "Product Details Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses. For APO/FPO shipments, please check with the manufacturer regarding warranty and support issues." Awwww crap! Also why the hell do other people care what we spend our money on? Useless piece of plastic? Same can be said for the 360 to those who don't appreciate video games. So sit back with your corn cob pipe and blow smoke up your own arse and let those of us with disposable income do whatever we please with our money. |
| Comment #74 by Mr Arrow Saturday, August 09, 2008 @ 06:44:38 PM Dead by Don: You're the MAN! |
 | Comment #75 by uegstevie Tuesday, September 02, 2008 @ 10:00:10 PM it says u get a MINI lancer so it aint gunna be the size cliff has iz it |
