Amazon.com has begun taking pre-orders on their exclusive Gears of War 2 Lancer bundle. The 36" long, 10" tall, and 13 pound piece of collectible awesome hit the web earlier this month for a staggeringly low pre-order price $139.99. Included with the life size plastic replica is the standard edition of Gears of War 2, which can be upgraded to the limited edition version for only $10 more.
The collectible Lancer was designed and crafted directly from the 3D in-game renderings and is constructed from "weapons grade" plastic. Rather than one solid piece, the Lancer also includes a side-mounted handle that folds inwards and outwards, as well as slides back and forth along the base of the gun. When depressed, the trigger activates internal chainsaw sound and vibration effects. Another particularly notable feature included with the Lancer is its removable clip.
To make the Lancer even weightier and realistic, it is powered by three bulky C batteries, which are, of course, not included.
The bundle will begin shipping on November 7, concurrently with the release of the game.
