Gears of War 3 Limited & Epic Edition announced

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks for the update, we are currently updating the database and will likely make a news post as well.

Microsoft said today the Epic Edition is available in very limited quantities and only while supplies last

No No No, they are speaking a Microsoft language, what they are actually saying it that they will produce thousands and flood the market with them. LOL.

Remember they said the exact same thing with HALO 3 and HALO Reach Legendary Editions.

Didn't listen but if those figs are all hand painted it must be a limited quantity which will be made. It looks like a high quality fig! Ordered my copy, want to have my collection complete. Wonder if there's also a new pre order pack coming like they did with Gears 1 and 2.

Sorry mate. I honestly didn't see it there. I spotted the link posted by Epic Games via Twitter and instantly thought to post it here

I agree. They do look impressive, and like you say, if they're all hand painted then they should indeed be limited. Like the art director says, something for the true fans

haha, kiddin' bro!

unfortunately, no Epic edition for me... a bit pricey for my pay grade not to mention that there's no freakin' way they would ever ship that to Croatia (GAME's >1kg shipping policy).

I preordered my Limited Edition the day they announced it (on GAME), but I canceled it a few days back and preordered it on shopto.net instead. Cheaper...as always.

Gamestation took my pre order for the epic edition, and only charged around £3 for shipment to Holland.
Hope they won't cancel it though.

LOL - Sorry though it was a source so didn't bother looking, Thanks for the vid john385.

Actually it might better to embed the video instead of linking it.

Very likely to be cancelled.
