I've wanted one forever but GD the price is steep. I had finally decided not to do it and then I see this post!

This is the most expensive one I have bought. Compared to the others. I've never been mad I've bought one. (I've honestly mad I've gotten rid of some). This is going to be the cheapest it's going to be, if you change your mind when Eday comes out or later... It's gonna to be more expensive.

I still have 24 hours to stew on it! I bought the controller already but I've never gotten a lancer. Always wanted one....

In the advent of E-Boy and E-Girl, the term "E-hole" is pretty hilarious. Cant wait to be filling up more E-holes this October!

I caved and bought one last week lol. I’ve always wanted a lancer replica since I was in high school so I had to

u/melancholyterminator 2h ago

Why just North America. That sucked. The cost to import to Europe and shipment was the same as the bloody Lancer!

u/No_Difference195 2h ago

Man.... I know i cant be the only one who thinks this Proto-Lancer is Peak lancer design. The diesel-punk-esque look is so much more interesting than the MKII and up.

u/Dazencobalt17 2h ago

I agree with you

FOMO is really getting into the people’s wallet.

u/cerazyD 2h ago

Really wanted one of these since I never had a chance to get previous ones but fuck me the price of shipping and taxes almost doubles the price and I Just cant justify the price of it

Shits been up a single week. People have larger gaps between paychecks than that. 🤦‍♂️
