Product description

The trademark weapon of the COG military, the Lancer is a fully automatic assault rifle that's perfect for short-to-mid-range combat. It's chainsaw bayonet is a powerful melee weapon that takes out most enemies in a single blow. New uses for the Lancer continue to emerge, with recent reports of "chainsaw duels," which combine the chainsaw attack with traditional sword fighting. It can also be used to cut a path through overgrown areas.

Junkie, not worth the price

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2008

Verified Purchase

Overall very very disappointed, this is definitely an overpriced toy made for profit and not a limited collector's item for enthusiasts as the price would dictate.

Mine arrived with a big hole in the box and with a broken front sight. This thing has major design flaws all over it. I know NECA is certainly not known for quality but this is even lower than their norm. Ammo magazine is really hard to remove, and completely fictitious in design. The chainsaw continues into the magazine where the bullets should be. There is a weird swing arm thing that serves no purpose and also will not rest flush against the magazine. Lots of production issues such as batteries not fitting and wiring being installed backwards. The "chainsaw" sounds like a Xbox controller left in a bucket of bottle caps, rumbling. The rear sight also appears to have be installed upside down... there is what appears to be a targeting dot but it is on the bottom, where you can't see it when shouldering the weapon. Had it been the opposite direction, it would have lined up just fine with the front sight (if mine were not broken) so I can only assume this got put in the wrong way.

This might function decently as a display piece, if displayed form pretty far away.

I Dont Understand Whuts The Big Fuss With This Lancer

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2008

Verified Purchase

I got my lancer about 2 weeks ago and it came in from UPS and i didnt have a problem with it at all. The batteries slid in with no problem the top went back in and i screwed it back and i didnt have no problem with it whut so ever so i dont kno whut the big problem is, But i will say about the Lancer that i didnt rate it a full 5 stars is whut other people where saying how the lancer is not weapon grade plastic or how ever its suppose to be. yea the only thing that it does is make some noise and it Vibrates but i do feel a little bit ripped off. I felt that yea maybe it would have been hard to make the chainsaw actually work but it doesnt and the sound isnt all that good as i thought should be. I think it should have been better. anyways all im saying that this lancer although its suppose to be a collectors item and nothing else its not worth the money and it should have been a little bit better

Sadly I ordered waaay too early.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2008

Alas I bought this item on a spur of the moment desire to own a replica of this fine weapon. For the record I ordered way back in October prior to Amazon offering a free Gears of War 2 copy with the gun. So in essence I was paying 140 bucks for what I thought was a high quality replica of the gun from Gears of War. What I got was....ugh something else entirely.

Let me first preface the fact that I know high end replicas like the ones blizzard put out do generally cost more. However I definitely feel this item fell far short of it's 140 dollar worth. Lets start with the first item that comes from the item description:

"Weapons Grade Plastic"

Owning several guns and rifles myself, this is a hoot to hear. Seriously, even if they use some plastic that might, MIGHT be worth to placed on a Saturday Night Special, the linkage and assembly of the gun render the claim worthless as the gun feels that a strong shock or accidental drop on the ground (and lets face it, this gun just screams to be run around with) will cause the whole thing to just snap apart.

Build Quality

There are lots of exposed seams all over the gun. The assembly that holds the mag together really wasn't properly measured as it feels unusually flimsy and the fake mag itself is a royal pain to actually remove from the gun. When you do actually remove it you find that the chainsaw actually sits inside the magazine, so you don't even see anything like fake bullets or something like that. Small potatoes I know, but still, for something tagging itself as a replica using "the same 3d Model Renders as the Game", you'd think they'd take the placement of the chainsaw into account.

The Handle that folds into the gun also feels like it's one jerk too hard from snapping off. The joint that connects to the gun itself and slides on the inside definitely feels way too flimsy given the amount of stress that it's going to be exposed to. The handle also rattles hollowly as you shift it up and down and definitely detracts from the feeling the gun should convey.

The Battery Issue

I won't spend too much time on this as other commentators have already discussed the issue in great detail, but I indeed had the same darn problem. Had to use the foil trick as well to get my connection right, and even then that stopped working all together after about 10 minutes of use. For something like this, I shouldn't have to jury-rig something as simple as battery contacts given the price.

Overall Thoughts

Sadly, I am returning this item simply due to the sheer lack of quality in it and I can't really justify spending 140 dollars on something that literally, given the quality of construction is meant for nothing more than something to be slapped on a wall and left there to gather dust on. The build quality and battery issues really prevent this from being handled with anything more than a delicate touch, which is a real shame because this would make a fantastic costume accessory or film prop that could see some heavy use. I really wanted this replica to be as awesome as the game, sadly, it did not live up to the task, nor is it worth the 140$ price tag.

Ah well...on to other things.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

When I saw a picture of this thing I couldn't wait to get my hands on this! What a tremendous let down this product is!! Gears of War is my all time favorite game and to have a full sized lancer would be incredible! Now to be honest, the lancer does look cool but it doesn't work correctly! This thing cost way too much money to not work properly! When I finally got the chainsaw sound and vibration to work I was utterly disappointed!! I though that I was going to hear a recording of a chanisaw sound but it was just the vibrating shaking the gun that made the sound! What a huge piece of crap!!! I should have know that coming from NECA that it was going to be crappy! I've had problems with their action figures as well!!! What ever you do, don't get this lancer or anything that NECA makes until they do something about their quality control!!!!

Gears of War 2 Replica Lancer

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is the pinnacle of collectible Gears of War memorabilia, the Lancer! At 36" long, NECA was commissioned to create these Lancers to be exact replicas of their in-game counterpart. Using all the computer generated specifications and designs directly from EPIC, developers of the Gears of War franchise, this replica Lancer has been meticulously crafted to be a real world version of the uniquely designed weapon; it's a machine gun with a chainsaw! Series creator Cliff Blezinski remarked how they secured the patent for this weapon, and how if they were not able to secure that patent, there would be no Gears of War games as we know them.

When powered by three C-size batteries, this Lancer makes sounds that mimic those from in the game! A rare collector's piece, which was an Amazon.com Exclusive for the launch of Gears of War 2, the NECA Gears of War 2 Lancer replica is becoming harder and harder to find, and with Gears of War 3 recently released, it continues to appreciate in value.

All I can really say about this Gears of War Lancer is that it is awesome. I am so happy I got this while I could, and while it was available on Amazon.ca. Keep putting out the great items, and keep shipping to Canada!!
