Why should Cliffy B have all the fun?

On Nov. 7, Amazon.com is offering a special promotion with the yet to be released Gears of War 2: a replica COG Lancer Assault Rifle.

Evidently no replica Locust torso is available to saw through. Bollocks.

The replica Lancer comes complete with the infamous chainsaw bayonet and what appears to be Locust blood spattered liberally.

According to J. Mennella, who commented on the Amazon.com offer, he/she/it claims that they were able to handle it at the San Diego Comic Con and that “it lights up and makes noises. And its pretty heavy too.”

While Gears of War fans may be panting over the offer, I’m waiting for Games Workshop to offer a working chainsword for Dawn of War II. Though nothing of the kind has been announced, I can only wait with baited breath for such a thing to be available to all budding Space Marines, lumberjacks, and Canadian bus riders.

That’s just freaking cool, and a way better deal than the halo 3 legendary package with that silly miniature helmet. Justin on August 8, 2008 1:48 pm I agreee but… it has to be pretty epic to get replica gear. Once you start down the path of replica swag consensual sex swiftly becomes a myth.
