TriForce Releases Final Version Of 1:1 Scale ‘Gears of War 2’ Lancer Assault Rifle Replica

TriForce Releases Final Version Of 1:1 Scale ‘Gears of War 2’ Lancer Assault Rifle Replica
Written Wednesday, September 23, 2009 by James Parkin

TriForce announced today that it has finalized work on its 1:1 scale Gears of War 2 Lancer Assault Rifle Replica.  The piece was sculpted, engineered and painted by an extremely talented and well-known group of the best and brightest names in the industry.  Artists include sculptor Erick Sosa, William Valenzuela, Jorge Martinez, Toi Ogunyoku and painter, Paul Komoda. The replica is 40 inches in length, weighs approximately 15 pounds, and features working LED effects. The estimated available ship date is February 2010.

“When working on something as iconic as the Lancer Assault Rifle you have to get every detail right, in order to pay it the respect it deserves.  Working closely with the incredible team at Epic Games we are confident we have created the most painstakingly accurate representation of this intricately designed weapon,” said Drew Seldin, a spokesman for TriForce.  “You can only make great pieces if you work with the best and our design team is clearly the best.  All you need to do is look at what they created and you will undoubtedly agree.” 

"The guys at TriForce have outdone themselves with this fantastic rendition of the Lancer, and the attention to detail is amazing," said Chris Perna, art director of Epic Games.  "They went through great pains and spared no expense to bring to market the absolute finest quality reproduction of the Lancer to date.  Working with these detail-oriented professionals has been a pleasure."

According to the website, the Lancer currently has a pre-order price of a staggering $949.99.

Awesome!......I've been needing to buzz down some of the trees in the back yard!!

This is frickin' retarded.

We complain about poor economy and the over indulgence of Americans who are credit strapped and then this comes out.

Retarded.

Screw that, I'll stick with the one I got at the midnight launch for about £40 in Gamestation, think it was Neca that done it.

If the bayonet works and it contains moving parts (slide release, mag release, etc.) I can see people buying this, but a grand? Seriously...

What retard is honestly going to buy this, So at 1Grand it can sit on their shelf and gather dust, & just to say, "Yeah i have one of those" And @ #11, Nice Comment.

+ GoW 2 isnt even a BIG game, Compared with HALO and CoD.

Thats a lot of money for a lump of plastic! Surely it'd be cheaper to strap a gun to the end of a chainsaw!

ive already got a lifesize gold lancer which whirrs and shit which i paid £20 for so ill save my 930 quid for the blinking lights tyvm :)

Comment #34 by Dlark17
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 01:25:07 PM

#27, get your facts straight. For the length it's been out, GoW has pretty much lead the 360 along with Halo 3. CoD is cross-platform, so that's not quite comparable right of the bat. You'd really have to change some factors to evenly weigh them against each other.

And, yes, as sexy as that thing is... That price is kinda outrageous. I mean, I know they put am a**load of work into each of these, but, seriously... who wants a $1000 shelf-sitter? I'd make some comment about how Halo might get away with it... but there stuff is like half this price, at most, sooo.... Guess I gotta swallow my GoW pride and just say... ouch guys. Ouch.

Wow! This craftmanship is amazing! The likeness, looks and feel are simply superb! I must have it! I'm sorry, how much is it? Once again. Holy shit are you kidding me? Go ahead and use the chainsaw to cut off my arm and leg! What do you mean the chainsaw doesn't work? I outta beat y'all to death with this 15 pound paperweight! What the hell is wrong with y'all? No I won't lower my voice! How about you lower the price!!

Sadly you know there's some schmuck out there obsessed with gears and will sell a kidney to get the cabbage to buy one of these worthless paper weights. On the plus side (yeah there is one) the detail of it looks superb.

Comment #39 by timm the zombie
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 01:47:54 PM

@9 That gun is terribly badly designed, in the midst of a battle the last thing I would want is a chainsaw 6 inches from my body. What if you trip or even get shot that thing would spin around and cut you in half then the guy you want to use it on would be laughing his ass off

Comment #40 by timm the zombie
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 01:49:54 PM

@15 a .50 cal is over $8000. And the ammo is about $10 per bullet

If I had a grand to waste I'd so buy that, looks pretty damn badass, you'd look sad to any non-gamer people but if your gamer friends came over and saw that badboy hanging from the wall of your living room or something they'd think "AWESOME" or something. xD

But only if it's a grand you had "Just laying around"

Yeah I'd prefer a couple desert eagle 50 cals and a real chainsaw.

Comment #46 by travis5223
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 02:30:31 PM

@#9, NO ONE in there right mind with military training would use a chainsaw or even think of using one if CQC as it's noisy and heavy. thats a shotguns job
oh and anyone willing to drop a grand on this.... buy a real MP5Ak4, UMP45, a majority of any handgun/shotgun with real ammunition not this fake piece of poop.

Instead of making us pay, they should have 50 of them given away in a sweepstakes or something. That would be better than dropping 950 COGS on this.

I could just buy a real assault rifle for cheaper. Then I can use it to shoot myself because I don't have enough money to buy the Lancer.

Now if this was an actual live firearm with a functional chainsaw then I would buy it for a grand.

It would be the ultimate survival weapon.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 04:33:11 PM

but guys your forgeting it "features working LED effects" now thats makes it worth the grand......

that plastic chainsaw bit might make a good back scratcher.

Is this a late April Fool's joke? They have to be kidding with the price. That is just ridiculous. Nobody will pay that much for the lancer. They wasted their time and money making that. As many people said on here, if it was a fully functional lancer then yes, it would be worth a grand. Whoever buys this is freaking stupid.

lol I dont know whats more amusing the fact on people going to such extremities to make such a "finely polished" replica of the lancer or the comments (which I agree with 100% lol)

and imagine. . . your paying for a man's childhood dream LMAO

Damn some people on here are stupid.

"I expect it to fire real bullets and have a working chainsaw for a grand"

Oh yea, for a grand this is the best you'll get, if you want a working version I would expect it'll come a fuck load more than a grand, 10 grand maybe? It's a replica for die hard fans with way too much money, it's like spending a grand more on a TV just because it's HD, I would rather get a SDTV than waste money just to get a slightly better picture, don't get all the perks HD offers but at least it does what I want it to do

Didn't think so...

Or M4 Carbine or AK47. R700.;p
Might get it, get the money off my money tree... If its usable i can use it to shoot those damn flying pigs;P
