Sure, Nerf Lancers have been done before, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be done better. This one, from reader Nick G, is also for sale on eBay. More »
The Gears of War Lancer replica is certainly cool to pose with and the Nerf version is definitely… cute. But neither packs the actual killing power of the real-life version with working chainsaw attachment.
Sure, people who pre-order Gears of War 2 get an exclusive in-game gold Lancer weapon to chainsaw their friends with, and folks can order a rather-expensive replica Lancer from Amazon, but only UK online retailer Gamestation offers both. They are now accepting pre-orders for the Gears of War 2 – Gold Lancer Assault Rifle, the same life-size replica of the game weapon as offered on Amazon, only this one is gold. The weapon is priced to sell at £129.99 ($317.95), and comes complete with the limited collector’s edition of the game itself, which I suppose is a handy thing to have once you realise that killing people with the toy version of the weapon is extremely difficult.
