Quoted from Bwheels:

Confession time. Sometimes people make bad choices and it’s time to make it right. I bought a second LE thinking I was going to flip it and make some quick cash. I guess I got caught up in the moment. After the dust settled and people who are bigger fans than I weren’t able to get one I thought about how I would feel if my dream pin was bought up and flipped. I took my posting down and have a guy who wants to buy my game for exactly what I paid which was msrp plus stupid CO sales tax.
Apologies to the good pinball lovers. I love this hobby and although it’s getting out of hand with prices, I shouldn’t be part of the problem.
My bad and lesson learned

❤️❤️❤️
You're a good man Charlie Brown.
We remember shit like this.

Before JJ texted me today, I was in with a Pinsider who was just going to charge me retail, but now I don't have to drive 4 hours to pick it up.
There ARE good people here still.

There definitely are. Glad you got one!

That takes some big brass balls to post that on here. Truth on here is like the most potent troll bait.

Good move!

Anyone going to mod this for the start button?
I am in if you do!

Quoted from Bwheels:Confession time. Sometimes people make bad choices and it’s time to make it right

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart

#2112 2 years ago
Quoted from Schwaggs:No beating deserved. You resisted the temptation of easy money and did the right thing. Good on you!

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah
Your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity

This is pretty good to understand a bit more about Rush.. If you were lucky enough to meet Neil sometimes he'd ask people what book you were reading, or what was your favorite book? or just simply to keep reading. Some idiots would say Rush's lyrics were the worst ever but imo that makes them one of the best ever.. it's just that maybe some didn't understand or take the time to listen.

#2114 2 years ago
Quoted from Budman:

Where does Alex Van Halen land on your list? My wife and daughter met him last year when his wife stabled her horse next to theirs.

I like Alex but I think its more because I LOVE Eddie and VH is my 2nd all time favorite band. I think Alex is a great drummer but never cared for his solos. But I mean what drummer doesn't sit down and warm up with Hot for Teacher? That double bass shuffle is the best

I've heard that the European market is a little soft on this and more machines might stay here. So all hope is not lost, if you missed one.

#2119 2 years ago
Quoted from mbrave77:

Do we know which model Jack is streaming tomorrow?

Gavin wheeled in a Premium during tonight's stream.

#2120 2 years ago

Just listened to the 2 IC podcasts…..it’s getting better and better. Getting so freakin’ hyped for this game.

#2121 2 years ago

Deadflip is setting up rush on stream right now

#2122 2 years ago
Quoted from manadams:

Pro or premium? LE's are sold out for the most part.

I’m getting a premium but I’m trying to line up the expression lighting to purchase. I don’t think Stern has them ready yet.

That actually surprises me, Rush has a huge following and has always faithfully toured Europe!

Stern shipped it with the balls still in the game? At least it has the expression lighting on it already.

Expression light not in the code yet. They were dark the entire time.

The 2nd pic has them working

#2135 2 years ago

So they mentioned Borg won’t be at the stream tomorrow - he also wasn’t a part of the podcast with the rest of the team. Does he usually skip this stuff?

Quoted from TinyBlackDog:

Amazingly, I've been in contact with him. He had said he has caught a cold and will not be attending.

#2137 2 years ago
Quoted from John-Floyd:

I guess just maybe not in attract yet. They were only working while he was playing, and we couldn't see the playfield.

#2138 2 years ago
Quoted from Schwaggs:

My dealer will not sell future LEs to flippers. I think this is an awesome practice.
The other problem with flipping $11,099 games for $14k even before we have seen one flip is it gives Stern the feeling they priced it too low.
We saw LE flipping years ago. We need another WWE LE to burn those flippers to the ground and trim them back.

Ultraman and Halloween.

Some nice shots of the translites. Love to see the Pro up close

The Pro backglass is by far my favorite.

#2142 2 years ago
Quoted from kool1:

Hard to install?

Hardest part is just getting the start button cap off. It’s easy otherwise. He has a video showing you how to do it.

#2143 2 years ago

I love the Pro too, but then again Rush album artwork isn't my favorite.

#2144 2 years ago

As a similar person who likes RUSH the best and VH as 2nd in my hierarchy, IMO Alex Van Halen is a very good drummer, probably Top 30-40 but not elite. Everybody Wants Some and Hot For Teacher are elite drumming songs....but most of his playing is just very good.......this takes nothing away from AVH, but Neil is far superior. VH is all Eddie for me (Dave was a great, great front man back in the day, but was only a decent singer). Mikey held the low end well but was no flashy bass player. Just solid...... When I listen to VH, it's for the guitar work, not the drumming (mostly) and the overall ability of the combined band.

#2145 2 years ago

Michael Anthony was the best vocalist Van Halen ever had. But this ain't that thread.

#2146 2 years ago
Quoted from Gryszzz:

I've heard that the European market is a little soft on this and more machines might stay here. So all hope is not lost, if you missed an LE.

Here's hoping!

One of my earliest childhood memories was riding in my dad's pickup and listening to Rush. Never got to see them live until I lucked out on their R40 tour when some friends of mine had some extra tickets to their show at the Palace (of Auburn Hills, before it closed). Grew up poor, didn't really start having financial stability until my 30s, and now that I'm 40 I've finally got pinball money. Along with Alien, this is a theme I've been waiting for.

If I end up with a Premium, I won't be too sad, but I definitely like the art package on the LE more.

#2147 2 years ago
Quoted from ramsfan:

The Pro backglass is by far my favorite.

Can't wait to see what that's gonna look like in person.

Premium looks good too albeit conservative & safe.

They should've included the expression lighting for it, let's be real folks.

Hope they'll be on in the stream tomorrow! Lookin forward.

#2148 2 years ago
Quoted from nogoodnames222:

Been checked out all day so sorry if this has been brought up already, but the layout really reminds me of Tron with better space utilization and a higher BOM. I think this game's gonna kick ass, and I'm not really a Rush fan at all. Side by side for the lazy:
[quoted image]

It’s actually closer to XMEN, but with a lower BOM.

But it looks great, and the tunes will be awesome for pinball!

#2149 2 years ago

I really like all 3 art packages - can’t go wrong w any of them. I decided to go the LE route cause it was my favorite of the 3, I like the extra mechanics/features for the Prem/LE, and I have a strong feeling the expression lighting and side rails are going to be in short supply given the huge demand for this game. After owning a LZ premium for almost a year now, I couldn’t imagine playing RUSH without the expression system. Love the way it looks and interacts.
Got my coin door magnet and the above mentioned start button mod on order, Klipsch sub ready, unopened RUSH pop figure set (I like to add them on the top cab/ topper), and already in line for the topper and shooter knob. Thank you GAP for coming through yet again for me!

I’m pretty new to this hobby but got hooked quickly and I am now addicted to all things pinball. I’m a life long Rush fan and this will be my first NIB machine. I was really nervous this wouldn’t live up to what I’d imagined it could be. Since the release, I’ve been devouring every last detail I can find about this machine. The two Stern podcasts got me so pumped about the reality of actually owning this machine! There is clearly a lot of passion going into this project which makes me love it even more.

I saw Jacks stream tonight and the small bits of animation you could see looked great! I can’t wait to see this in action tomorrow.

This image from the Rush comic seems to be close to the playfield portraits.
