No excuse. Also, if you could, like, Amazon it overnight to me, that'd be great too. Thanks.

I'll take two sets of the new stuff since my scoop protectors are on their way. Should've been here by now...

Looking forward to your inner loop guide - I’ve been struggling with mine since day 1.

ditto

Yeah for sure. Same here!

Hi @aniraf, just wondering how all the projects are coming and when they might possibly be available? Thanks and take care.

Does it make me a bad person that I'm just as excited for my scoop protector as I was for my game? I just wish there was a tracking number so I could watch it sit for a week in a New Jersey USPS warehouse like everything else that's shipped to me.

Bad, no. Weird , maybe but it's so worth it, I'd put mylar under it, washers under the posts and no fork lift arms

Something tells me you should check your mailbox today

so which thickness acrylic washer have people been using for the posts? I've redone that tightening a few times with different approaches and still get some torque/curling. Right now its minimal and not really an issue but want to jump back on it later with something that looks like a cleaner finish

This is what I used, cuz I had em on hand , 3/4 diameter

Ah sweet! Glad I keep forgetting to complete a cart with them. Been slowly adding things for the past couple of weeks for random stuff.

Something tells me you knew the tracking number. HOORAY! It arrived!

Link to where to buy mods?

Got it. Installed it. And yep...it's awesome. (Installation wasn't too fun, though...a little tricky with the over/under/don't twist the protector with the screw thing.)

So...where are the other two mods?

Yeah, using a deep socket on the top and and a regular socket or nut driver underneath and standing to the left of the cabinet while tightening them on the vertical playfield is where I have my best luck.

Sooooooooooon......

In 1986, I stayed out all night for Rush tickets to see them on their Power Windows tour...

I feel like I have the same tension and excitement waiting for the new product pages to drop....

Looking forward it, guys. Thanks for all the hard work...

I admit I check the Pinside shops every day or two lol

No, it's sad though that Stern couldn't figure this out.

They did, if you like those blue bumpers.

I'm going to find out how to get the kits to have the parts, but I'm only going to install the replacement switch. I'm too happy with the NinjaCamp protector.

It is reminiscent of a Soviet Cold War Era design to me. It's functional, but something that ugly should only be on the underside of a playfield, not right in front of your flippers with bright lights shining on it. Borg would never say it out loud of course, but it has to piss him off a little that they stuck that thing on his scoop, totally upsetting his game design flow and aesthetics. The topper is that they marched him out there to show us how to install it in an instructional video! Gotta wonder how that conversation went before he finally caved. Must have been his turn in the barrel I guess.

Oh well, doesn't matter, Ninja saved the day on this one and now we can play the game as originally designed without staring at the eyesore in the middle of the playfield.

It probably went along the lines of " your mess, you sort it, and don't do it again " !!

In Soviet Russia, pin balls you!

KhRUSHchev approved!

(see what I did there, comrade? )

Maybe, but I'm thinking they told him, "Look John, according to our focus group, if pin nerds worldwide see YOU installing it, they will normalize it". Something like that I would bet.

Need we say more...

they're here (resized).jpg

NinjaCamp did you get your page up you were taliking about/

Check out the shop, four new listings are up!

Order placed…thanks again for all the work!

Placed my order! Thanks for what you do!

Order placed!

Still working on the rollovers?

Ordered Placed Thanks..

Ordered!! Thx for building these much needed pieces

Not quite there yet, no. I think we're settled on the design, now it's a question of pinning down printing technique so we're happy with the outcome and can still produce them fast enough to not back up our whole operation. I do hope to have those up soon though!

Bought them all! Thank you for this work! Much appreciated!

Wow folks, 14 orders in the first 30 minutes! We're humbled!! Thank you so much! We've been quietly building up some inventory but I think you've already nuked it, so we'll be working furiously to keep them coming...

Meanwhile we've also been hard at work on our next big thing for Rush, and it's not TPU, gasp!! It's not protective, and it's not just a decoration; it'll be functional. I'm not quite ready to say what it is or show it just yet, suffice it to say we're still waiting to get the custom PCBs we designed for it back from the shop, because it just won't impress like it should until it's whole. Once you see it, though, we're pretty confident that you're going to love it! If you're like us, you'll wonder how the game ever shipped without it.

I know it's rude to tease, but it'll be worth it... Give us a week or two. I'll have it built the day I get the boards. Stay tuned!

Got all of them. Thanks for your ingenuity.

Can't wait to see the "functional" mod.

Got 2 of everything. Sold two of the grandchildren to science to pay for it.

It'll save me some money at Christmas, too, so thanks!

Functional, yet decorative, requires PCB.....hmm....maybe the reels will be spinning after all!!!

Heh, we've been talking about this since before our LE ever arrived, but I'm sorry to say that no, it won't be spinning reels. May get around to designing that eventually though.

To sleep, perchance to dream…

Sorry, but I have to say this: you don’t know anything about how this went down. Wouldn’t you feel stupid if you learned later that the V3 design was John Borg’s idea? How are you so damned sure it isn’t? To seek wisdom, we must start with what we don’t know. And here, none of us know anything. So how about giving Stern’s engineers and designers a fucking break?

Why should they get a break from deserved criticism? People here are having to spend more money to fix it.

Thumbs up earned from me for somehow referencing a platypus.

So... we've loved playing our Rush LE so far, had a big tournament at our house a few weeks ago featuring Rush LE, Ultraman CE and Godzilla LE for the finals, with almost 60 players on 27 machines. Its been a great machine so far, we are glad we got it, and kudos to Borg & the whole design team & Stern for a great game.

It certainly shipped with a design flaw -- no doubt about it. Stern has made their attempts to remedy the situation, as well as Cliffy, Mantis, and well, us (NinjaCamp and Outpost Kodelia).

While everyone agrees (including Stern) that the initial effort was flawed, they've made honest attempts to improve the situation. Some people are happy with it, some are not.

If you are happy with the Stern solution, you should use it. If not, there are many fine alternatives out there.

I feel like the debate has gotten a little personal at times here and on the Rush owners thread.

I'd like to ask all parties to agree to disagree and let it go, at least on this thread.

Thank you everyone, we are excited to find new and better ways to protect your games and improve your gameplay experience in any way we can!
