Impressive sets, but its gonna depend on prices...

Though to be honest i'll probably end up getting the standard version, as any limited edition stuff will only end up in a cupboard!

Was holding back my pre order till i saw what was in them have gone for the lim edition at 53 quid

I can't see me convincing the wife that our lounge is missing a 12" plastic statue of Marcus Fenix...

About frigging time!!!!! I'm happy with my limited edition pre-order now. Not anything extra in the Epic edition. The Cog looks cool!!

Rep - for putting me out of my misery

Not as impressive as I thought it would be. Still a lot better than the Gold Lancers that didn't even work properly that they tried to flog with Gears 2.

I don't know yet which one I will be going for. I will wait till it gets closer then decide.

Good one Leigh!

I am very tempted by that Marcus figure. It looks a cut above the usual tosh. Might be a nice piece of memorabilia.

already ordered myself one of the limited editions so quite glad i stuck to that one

Limited Edition (£59.99): Available at selected retailers, the Limited Edition.

Epic Edition (£99.99): Available exclusively at GAME and Gamestation, the Epic Edition is available in very limited quantities and only while supplies last.

Same for me, although it'd be the husband I'd be unable to convince.
It looks sweet but I only actually want the game, and the statue (which of course would end up somewhere out of the way so that G didn't have to explain to his mates how I'm taking over the house with my gears love lol)
So just the plain old normal version again for me!

You should get the limited edition. You get the flag in that You could hang in in the window when his mates are coming over

They do look cool, if I was more of a gears fan I'd definitely go for the epic edition

Ahhhh! I must spends me money on gears!!!

The epic edition looks very nice and everything, but I could never justify spending an extra 60 quid on stuff that would be left gathering dust after a couple of weeks. I'll be happy with the regular edition.

Just noticed this on facebook, retro lancer replica pre order bundle. not sure if we'll be able to get them over here but I thought I'd post the link anyway.

it worries me to think how much this will cost

It'll never get released here looking like that. They had a similar item for the last game but to comply with our gun control laws it had to be painted gold for release here and looked naff where as it looked like it did in the game everywhere else

flumping yanks!
They get all the good stuff and what do we get? A poxy flag and a garden gnome, grrrrrrrrrrrr!
I want my toy gun!
