Available for pre-order from TriForce Sales is a lifesize, three foot long, fifteen pound, blood stained and wicked "badass" Gears of War Lancer replica. And it's only $949.99. If weapons are too NRA for you, you can plop down your $549.99 in pre-order cash on a twenty pound Locust Drone bust that comes complete with stand, a fleshy gray coat of paint and a smattering of glistening drool. Both products will be shipping sometime during Q4 2008. But, as you can see, TriForce isn't offering up any COG armor like they originally promised. Maybe it was too expensive to develop or maybe they're still perfecting the look. Yeah, they must be perfecting the look. View all the photographic goods below.

that locust statue is creepy as hell. I can imagine if I had an eerie mansion, I'd get something like that.

Sorry, but for a thou', that Lancer better cut down some limbs (wooden or otherwise).
What on earth is it made out of to justify such a cost?

I know, I was all for buying it, then I saw the price. I would rather buy an M16 from the Black market and Duct tape a chain saw to it before I buy this, which doesn't shoot stuff.

Because our dollar is so weak right now.
It's like pesos. This thing is actually only $100 in '90s dollars.

Wow. $950 price tag.
I could get about 2 Xbox's and 6 copies of Gears of War 2 for that price.

Oh whoops, this one is a little different as it is actual size, but there already was a new action figure on this site today.

I buy the toys when I'm interested in them. I've been a collector of action figures, gaming and otherwise my whole life ever since Super Powers toys in '84.

Not sure if my original comment made it through.
I buy action figures and I've been collecting them since the Super Powers toys in the early 80's. So yeah, I personally appreciate the action figure news on this site! Not many other gaming sites do this, and I like that other people share my interests in that regard. I don't buy everything under the sun..but I like action figures and I love being a hardcore gamer. The two go together for me like PB&J :)

Honestly I'm not surprised at all, they never said it would be cheap and in an interview they even said it would be very expensive. Its nice but out of my price range.

I'm all for supporting small companies. I'm even up for giving EPIC their fair share with royalties.. but $1K?
You can legally buy a working assault rifle for that much money. I'm waiting for some modder to make an add-on that clamps onto the accessory rail. It may not look 100% but it would actually be able to be used to put food on the table as well as look bad-ass.

I agree with all ppl agruing about the action figure explosion lately.
But anyway, almost 1K for a fake gun that would prolly look AWESOME to be walking around with during holloween or something. But 950 is just too much. I know its made of great quaitly but just like the gears and Spartan suits, nobody is going to buy if the price is like twice a payment for a car. And with the gas price going up and up by the day. Buying a toy gun is way to expensive. Its probably cheaper to be a real gun and robbing an idiot who bought the lancer.
My 2 cents. >_>

true story, real (crappy) handguns can be bought for under $100 at your local pawn shop! Have at it!

SaNcTuS said...
yup. But unless the guy buys it carrys like an m16 with him at all times with body guards. A simple hand gun will just do. But of course I dont promote violence. :D
