Last week Epic Games revealed the contents for their Gears of War 3 game bundles (read our story HERE (https://www.figures.com/forums/news/13155-gears-war-3-limited-epic-editions-unveiled.html)). If you have already pre-ordered the "Limited Edition" or "Epic Edition," then you may want to consider revising your order. Today Epic Games has announced an even grander Gears of War 3 bundle extra, a 1:1 scale Retro Lancer replica produced by NECA.

Exclusive to GameStop, the Retro Lancer is being offered four different ways:

* Sold by itself priced at $99 and to be released 9/13/2011
* Sold with a standard copy of the game to be released 9/20/2011 ($139.98)
* Sold with the "Limited Edition" to be released 9/20/2011 ($159.98)
* Sold with the "Epic Edition" to be released 9/20/2011 ($229.98)

The weapon replica measures over 3 1/2 feet long (http://epicgames.com/community/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Model_02-682x1024.jpg) and includes trigger activated sound effects. It was created from the actual 3D data used by Epic Games in the Gears of War 3 video game.

Seeing as I live in the UK It would be pointless to purchase the game on an American website so I'll just have to miss out on the offer and possibly buy it on it's own some time because it looks sweet !

NECA says they are working out details now for international orders. Sounds like UK will get this painted gold (to avoid issues at customs), much like their chainsaw Lancer bundle for Gears 2.

Yes, I hate our UK customs, we are no fun over here. But a Gold plated Retro Lancer may look even sweeter ! that is good news
