I know, lame. Everyone has their own opinion, but I'm just curious what the results would be here. I've only played RUSH and absolutely loved it, but I never played the other 2. I just know I would like them also based on endless videos I've watched and themes. I'm easy and like most everything.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Star Wars Premium is the best game you listed there (fight me) but Rush Premium is the most different from your existing collection design and play-wise. Star Wars Rhymes with Guardians, Cactus Canyon rhymes with Monster Bash. Rush doesn't rhyme with anything in your collection.

haha I know I would love SW. And Monster Bash is leaving the house ( sold ).

wow Star Wars is creeping up on RUSH!! and CCr looks like the darkhorse who might come in on the last stretch!

Quoted from Yoko2una:

This year I bought both CCr SE and SW Prem, both NIB. 5min down the road my friend has a Rush Prem and I have a ton of games on it.
In a 3 game collection (because you mentioned MBr is leaving), I'd go SW Prem. You need at least one non-fan-layout game and you got that in spades with GZ. So then I'd boil it down to replay-ability. CCr SE is a bit lacking in this department and we won't know what the new code will be like yet (some rumors say it's going to be different but still basic). But if you're going to miss the simplicity of a A-tier WPC fan layout, CCr SE scratches that itch.
Rush is sort of a miss for me. It's fine for what it is, but it's sort of like the band. I like it in smaller doses... thus disqualifying for me it in a 3-game lineup. YMMV.
Meanwhile SW Prem has a great blend of objectives, modes, strategy, and speed. I bought my NIB Prem because I got it for far below MSRP. Otherwise I'd never own this darn game. But in about a week it became one of my favorite Sterns. Sort of like a 3rd flipper mixing things up, the action button and shot multiplier make it unlike anything else I've played. Those who call it "calculus" or whatever, don't know basic math and probably pee their pants when other games get to a 3X playfield. How many games ask you to take your hands off the flippers to move around a Shot-X to a lit shot because it then could be worth up to 40X more??? That's some CRAZY risk/reward unlike any other game I can think of. If you start Video Mode and you have a good multiplier going but forgot to place the multiplier on the Hoth shot, you audibly call yourself the worst thing that comes to mind and laugh at how you just pissed away like 100M points.
Add in the many ways to play the game, the character perks, the speed, the hyperspace loop (biggest rush in pinball trying to get more than 1 up there), the theme, and the fact there's nothing like it, I'd say it's a clear winner out of the 3 options. It's WAY MORE than "just another fan layout" and is great in a small collection.

Thanks for the reply! The one thing I'm concerned with is NOT getting the SW now and then having the secondary market kill me with a price increase in a couple of years since Stern is done with them. Its actually becoming a major point in making my decision here each passing day.

Watch some game play videos on youtube. If you start to fall asleep watching, remove it from your choices.

RUSH is pulling away now. It was close for a while.
This is going to be a tough choice.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

If you do buy rush, and you should. Pinwoofers are a must for it. Unbelievable how good it sounds, even at low volume. You'll hear things the stock audio can't produce. Lots of people have commented on this

Noted! Thanks

Come on someone break the 50 mark for RUSH! It must be done. Then I’ll close the poll.

Quoted from rx3:

If you sold MB, one of the GOAT, then my taste is way different than yours and my input would be irrelevant.

Thanks for the input!

Quoted from briyau15:

You pulled the trigger on it? I bit the bullet and did the same, mines scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Interested to see what you think of it and if it meshes with my experience.
Also, somewhat related, is it easy to dolly a NIB through a somewhat slightly sloped backyard (not too steep) by one’s self or should I enlist help?

Yeah I figured RUSH will be around for a while and I'm nervous about not having another NIB opportunity with this one. I'm sure ill love it. I've watched enough streaming on it. And a lot of people on here who seem to have my tastes love it too so I'm looking real forward to it! Went with the Premium because of the hyperloop. Looks badass!

I always enlist help moving these things.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

I've done it myself multiple times, but I'm a 6'4" former Marine. If you do, ALWAYS strap the pinball machine to the dolly. I walk backwards when I move these off road. You will want a dolly with inflatable wheels. Don't buy one from Harbor Freight. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/dolly-broke-pin-dumped-advice-needed#post-5121293

You'll always be a Marine!

Quoted from briyau15:

Yikes, thanks for the tip. I’m told FedEx freight only drops off into garages. Will see if they are in the holiday spirit to bring around back (had the person for my LZ do it no problem.). Will have support on standby just in case.

I always give the delivery guy a $20 to put it in the backyard for me. They all seem to be ok with that.
