    So I was looking at GameStop's website (don't ask why, I don't even know for myself as to why...) and I saw this: http://www.gamestop.com/games/gears-of-war-3-retro-lancer-bundle/91046
     
    Anyone gonna buy this?  I wanted to get the Gears 2 edition that had the lancer but I didn't have the money at the time.  This may prove to be something I can't pass up if I do decide to get another Xbox and have the money.
     
    (Note: If there is a topic about this already, please delete this.  I looked for one and couldn't find it)

    @xobballox: Yeah I am going to get this. When game informer wrote a article about it a week ago. I had to put money down to reserve it. It does look really cool.

    @xobballox: I bought the Lancer Replica bundle of Gears 2 from Amazon and couple years ago. It's a good lookin' item. More than just a toy. If you're in to it, it might be worth getting.

    I'm guessing this is separate from the announced Epic edition. I don't remember Epic talking about these things. I'll pass on them though, I'm only interested in the limited.

    @scarace360: If it's like the Gears 2 regular lancer, it's a full size replica (A massive assault rifle)

    Yeah, I saw the thread about the epic addition and the big thing with it seems to be a statue of Marcus.

    @xobballox: The only extra stuff with the Epic Edition is some artbook and that statue. That statue actually looks pretty nice and all but I'm not spending 150 fucking dollars for that. I already payed up for the limited and I'm happy with that.

    @Afroman269: Agreed.  But a life-size rifle with a massive bayonet on the other hand... :P

    I would love to get it, but it's way too expensive. Barely have enough money for gas, phone bill and rent.

    I wish I could get the Gears 2 one instead. I didn't have the money at the time and like the regular lancer design a lot better than the retro.

    Lancer

    - As people have said, large clip size, low recoil, weakest of the three but you can supress and obviously chainsaw in CQC. 

    Retro Lancer

    - Powerful, high recoil, bayonet charge. (Sounds the best) 

    Hammerburst

    - Powerful, Semi automatic, Accurate/iron sights, low clip size. (Sounds the worst) 
    The whole sound thing is just because I dislike the way the Hammerburst sounds but really like the way the Retro sounds, its not a big issue but coming from games like BOB Hells Highway and Bad Company 2 that have great weapon sounds it's a little dissapointing.
