Gears of War 2 Lancer Bundle official

by Tank| Published: Friday, August 08 @ 19:18:49 EDT

The on again off again replica Lancer / Gears of War 2 bundle is now officially on.

The controversy started at Comic Con where Cliff indicated that the Neca 1:1 Lancer replica would come with Gears of War 2 Limited Edition as a bundle for $130.

Later Cliff corrected himself saying a bundle of the game plus Lancer for $130 would be ‘crazy’ and the Lancer is an unbelievable value at $130 on it’s own. This was also echoed by Randy Falk, head of Neca who said Cliff was just over excited about the great Gears items coming out of Neca this fall.

Last night however, I was cruising Amazon.com and came across the bundle that is suppose to not exist ! The pricing isn’t exactly the same but you get the Neca 1:1 scale Lancer plus Gears of War 2 Standard Edition for $139.99 . If you wanted the extras of the Limited Edition SKU which includes some in-game content, bonus behind the scenes DVD and a picture of Dom’s wife, just add $10.

Of course being from Amazon.com, shipping is free and no taxes unless you live in Washington. The down side though is the wait, like all mail-order stuff you’ll need to wait for it to arrive unless you want to pay a lot of money for overnight shipping. 3 day shipping isn’t bad, about 9 bucks.

Hopefully this will be a limited edition replica and have the potential to increase in value over time unlike the Halo 3 helmet which is worthless due to such high manufacturing numbers.

I actually wouldn't mind turning it into an actual working paintball gun for scenario game play. Now that would totally be kick fucking ass.

Game bundles are getting ridiculous. Seriously, now what the hell is a grown man going to do with that? I mean, you going to go around the house shooting people with your little toy gun?

Does anyone actually think that will be a collectors item? Or, are you more with my line of thinking where it collects dust in an attic for a few years or the basement until you finally just toss it and say "what the hell was I thinking?"

Grown men have no business owning or playing the Nintendo Wii....standing in their living rooms swinging around your little plastic remote to make the screen do shit?

yeah.....

The Wii's controller is a practical controller for gaming. The toy lancer does nothing. Its an oversized collectable piece of plastic.

I don't like the Wii but if I had kids I would play that with them, as a grown man. Kids should not be playing T and M rated games.

This big toy gun is a bit over the top.

Its a grown man playing video games versus someone who pays for a collectible gun replica.

Either one when looking at it can be ridiculous.

And no one said anyone had to buy them. So leave those who are buying it be.

A video game, much like a movie, is something the public plays for entertainment. You telling me you'd not find it weird walking into a Starbucks and seeing a 40 year old guy playing with GI Joe's at the table battling against some transformers while sipping on an Apple juice?

If your answer is "no, that's completely normal" then I've got nothing else to say to make you understand my point.

We collect things, all sorts of things and they all seem stupid to collect to people who aren't into it.

Fact is these things CAN raise in value, the actual really limited edition Big Daddy from Bioshock has increased in value. The Halo 3 helmet didn't because the production yields were too high. You can't produce something by the million and expect it to have any type of value... too many people have it.

Who knows on the Lancer. It's possible it could raise or lower in value, it's really not possible to say right now without knowing the manufacturing numbers.

Action figures do raise in value, we've seen that. Those original three Starcraft figures which i had at one point i saw recently go for $200 each on ebay.

Anyway if you're into the game, it'll be cool on the wall. If you want to gurantee that it goes up in value, hit a 'con' that CliffyB is at and get him to sign it. You'll double the price on the spot.

action figures are one thing, this is another. i've seen some really cool replicas from films and historic eras, but this looks too much like a toy. Chopping it for a paintball scenario as Tank suggested may be its only use. It's plastic for jeebus sake. If it was an air rifle, that'd be worth the dime.

If you were setting up your themed game room... halo helmet on pillar in corner, lancer replica on wall, etc, I guess the item might make sense for you.

If you are of the mind, "I'm going to pick it up and hope it increases in value"... then you are making an uninformed and bad investment. If you want to invest, buy gold, bonds or stocks, mutual funds. In time, they increase in value.

For me, a plastic lancer gun replica would be a complete waste of money. I see the marketing incentive to these guys by packing all of this garbage in with the sale of the product. However, there's no chance in hell you'll catch me ever sucumbing to the latest gimmick for higher LE promo purchase. If they ever start putting in a significant amount of content into an LE game, then I may reconsider my position... but an in game gold plated "stick out like sore thumb" weapon is not going to get it done.

I will laugh a little each time I see someone with the thing though...

Well, I bought the Halo 3 legendary but I'm not buying this special edition.

I guess that states where my loyalty lies.
