GoW Lancer, wait, this one IMO blows the other one away...

Ive just finished removing the Red gunk from the gun . Took forever. The good news is that it comes off with denatured Alcohol and the rest of the paint is unaffected. The bad news id that t takes FOREVER to come off.

Ive opened my lancer u in order to add a few touches like light and also to be able to repaint the whole thing. Neca reeeeaaally didnt want this thing to come apart. They covered all the screws with plastic screws which are glued on. Some I had to remove by cutting out. Ill just cast a few replacements . Another pint where they pretty much locked it together is the large flathead looking thing on the side is. They actually screwed that in from the inside with a screw that has no slot. Yep , its just a smooth top. ever seen one like that before. Thank goodness I only messed up one of the large round parts so I have the other side to cast from . Geez, If id known they had done it this way would not have started opening it. I think it will be rewarding in the end.
Gonna go for this look :

That looks MUCH nicer... never liked fake blood on props or models or figures. Great work!

Oh my, that isnt my lancer man. I'm sorry if I made it sound that way. That is the look Im "gpoing for", as in hoping to get. Thats a render from the actual game I think

Just got this notice from Amazon in my email this morning

Hello from Amazon.com.

Amazon also gave me a claim code for $10.00 off my next order

If this is old news I am sorry

Just got one myself. Pretty cool of them, although I am getting tired of NECA screwing up the prop replicas they make.

Still, 10$ and amazon prime's free 2 day shipping means some cool books can be heading my way shortly

I gotta give amazon credit where credit is due, they really do have excellent customer service. It isn't their fault that NECA dropped the ball, but it's pretty cool they are taking care of it.

I recieved the same e-mail from Amazon myself today. Along with the $10 apology coupon. I also recieved a $10 coupon code yesterday for pre-ordering the game and Lancer bundle. Considering I also recieved the game about noon the day before it was released I am pretty happy with the deal the whole way around. :lol

I got the "Thanks for pre-ordering" coupon, but I didn't get the others.

Anyone know of any FYE coupons? I found out the nearest one to me has been stocking the Lancers for $100, so if I could find a coupon for say....75% your next purchase, I'd jump on one of them. :lol

F.Y.E. had this in my area over the weekend for $79. I'm thinking of getting one for my office door.

 

[madrobot]

Oooo, I might have to swing by next time I'm there then!

I stopped by today sence I was out of town (or in the town with the FYE anyway.), I asked the girl where they were, and she said they didn't have them anymore. :lol

Anyone know of a decent offer price for a defective one? The last few times I've worked overnights at the mall, I see that FYE has a Lancer as a window display clearly written on as "Defective, do not sell"... Going price is $99 new, no idea what is wrong with it since I go to work after they close and leave before they open :unsure

I thought it would be a cool mod to replace the static molded chainsaw part with a functioning battery operated setup, kinda like the little Fisher Price working "dog tag chain" chainsaw, but with teeth... I don't care if it works, I'd just as soon experiment with it meself yeno... :lol

50% offer to buy sound good? I'd really like to get one, and if for no other reason, to repaint the dang thing more realistically and do away with the Godawful paintjob...
