Real-life Gears armor and Lancer coming soon

What Gears of War fanboy doesn't want to take their Gears gaming experience them into the real world. Wearing Marcus Fenix style armor with a a chainsaw revving Lancer similar to a certain Cliff Bleszinski. It's a Gears fanboy's dream! Coolest thing of all is that rather soon, that dream will be coming true.

TriForce Sales just announced that they, with the help of sculptor Sid Garrand from the famous Nightmare Armor Studios, have secured a license to create 1:1: scale replicas of Gears of War armor (including body armor and helmets) as well as the iconic Gears Lancer. All replicas will be made of high density foam, fiberglass and polyurethane composites, making them fully wearable and totally "badass". Pre-orders for the TriForce Sales produced goodness will begin July 7th over at ProjectTriforce.com for a yet to be revealed price. Yup, our geeky fantasies are slowly becoming a reality.

I'd get this except the armor doesn't make you bulky to the point of near immobility, like Marcus and the Coletrain, and is therefore very inauthentic to the series.

In the OXM story about it, I recall them saying that if they did sell it it would be VERY expensive, on their site it says most types of sculpture cost 2-5 grand and they said it cost about that much in an oxm inverview, but I wonder if this deal means that the price might drop.
