TFTC had 3 flippers.

Yikes... Lol. I guess that's one way to look at it?

Anyway, I love TFTC and I think this pin looks great too. I like Borg's pins, so I'm happy for all who want to enjoy this as well. Cheers!

$12.4? I thought it was $11.4, that's what I paid.

Trying to keep this thread positive as it's just WAY, WAY too easy to troll and to condescend others from a keyboard, so why not just be cool to other people, ya know? Life is good!

It's all good! You stated, "it's nice to see a 3 flipper design from Borg" and I was just saying he did have one previously: TFTC!

I wasn't comparing the pins... at all, obviously, I never compared them. I was just stating he had a 3 flipper design previously! He might have others, I can't recall and would have to look through his list of games! Cheers to Borg, 3 flippers, Rush, and pinball in 2022! It's going to be great!

I did just finish listening to the Stern Insider podcasts on Rush, and I found them very cool to listen to! If you haven't already, it's worth a listen while working or whatever.

If you watched that entire stream and weren't enjoying it or "digging" it at all, even for a minute, then that's really unfortunate for you. It just might not be your thing, and that's all good, but I really liked it a lot.

All hype aside, it looked like a really good Borg game. It's early code, so there are areas and time for improvements, but that is one slick shooting pin they created. It was hard to not be enjoying that machine, for me anyway.

Yeah, I love that.

These look great! These look like they would be worth it for an LE, probably? I guess each machine has 2 bumpers it seems?

Great job on these, btw.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should read gooder...

Thanks!

Yeah, please stop. You're making those of us from St. Louis just look bad. You have to admit, you just rambled off words and grouped them together and tried to pass off as a review or impression, then said pizza and latte in the same sentence.

Come on, man!

I just kid.. sorta-ish.

Yeah, I was just messing with ya man lol. It's all good.

To say racism and meth makes this city look bad, I'm not sure what part you live in - that must suck; however, that is everywhere, not just this city. I just came from vacation - It's there as well. I look forward to your review on that too!

I'm just having some fun with you man lol. Have a good night

Yeah I have a feeling that will be the case for me too at first lol. Thanks for sharing your experience and feedback, man!

I'm looking forward to my LE as well, but my buddy and I are actually going to take it to my uncle's house for a while once it arrives. He got me into Rush when I was young, he has seen Rush 30+ times and always wears a Rush shirt everytime you see him, but he recently suffered multiple strokes and thought he would love this pin while he recovers.

He has to have physical therapy several times a week, on medication the rest of his life, and is on medical leave from work, but we didn't lose him, so thought this would be great for him to enjoy while going through this. My nurse friend said it would be good for his coordination recovery too.

He totally flipped out when I told him, and we're really close, so it's a great feeling. He's been watching videos constantly because he is so excited lol. Maybe he'll give it back to me someday lol. Can't wait to play it though!

Wow, I appreciate all of the positive responses, guys. Thank you. I really appreciate it, sincerely.

I'm going to show him this thread when I see him next and show him all of the support from the pinside and Rush community. It will mean a lot to him. He just got a smartphone like a month ago, so he really has no idea how connected some communities are.

Thanks again, everyone. It means a lot. He has a long road ahead, but he is still with us. He's a really good person and he deserves it. I will keep this thread updated, for sure. I'll take a picture when we get it set up over there and we'll say hi.

I also played Rush yesterday at CP Pinball and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fast, smooth and unforgiving lol. It took me a few games to really get shots down, but once I did it felt really smooth and satisfying.

At first, I did horrible. After some games, I still did terrible, then I started getting games at 30+ million. One game I got 130mil and couldn't tell you how I did it. Then was back to just doing ok.

It was the Pro, so the Prem/LE could be different, also the code isn't finished, but I honestly was really happy with it. I went on and played other games, and kept coming back to this.

It was really addicting hitting shots from that right flipper, hitting that spinner, and nailing that time machine and watching everything light up. The multiballs were fun af. It was hard to hear the music, so that's just the gameplay that was really enjoyable. It's definitely fast and it's not easy.

This was just my experience and my opinion, of course, and I wasn't disappointed. I can't wait for my LE and it's a damn good music pin.

So, I own a lot of Monoprice products and favor them very strongly. However, I actually bought this sub instead of the 10" Polk and I actually had to return it and was a pain in the ass. If you look up that model and google some reviews (especially on amazon), you will start to see some consistencies that it was underpowered or defected. I actually bought mine directly from Monoprice, so it seems to be a bad batch sent to vendors because they were familiar with my description immediately once I submitted a ticket.

I don't know if it was a certain factory run they had or what, but I received a bad sub from them, on this model, like a month ago and it was really annoying to deal with. In my opinion, and of course anyone can do what they want to do, but I would suggest a Klipsch or a Polk and spend a little more money.

This was just my experience and was shocked, actually, that I received a bad Monoprice sub. But it does seem specific to this model sub, a certain run or build, and consistent, numerous reviews stating the same issue. Just putting in my disgusting 2 cents out of my JORTS.

EDIT: I should add that I currently use the usual 10" Polk PSW10 like most people and it works great. I have a 11.2 home theater with all Klipsch premiers, so I know speakers pretty well. I do plan on buying a Klipsch R-12SW for Rush and I do currently use the Pinsub mixer on the Polk 10" to have multiple pins hooked up to it. Rush may get its own sub, at least initially.

I had this experience too with that sub.

It seemed underpowered and defective, and it rattled. It seemed like the back of the woofer was hitting wires or rattling some panel; annoying af.

Had to return it and it was a pain in the ass, but finally got it completed. Buying the Klipsch instead.

That really sucks for you, man. I thought it was amazing and an amazing Borg game.

I'm curious on what you ultimately decide on. I've done the Kenwood 5.25" speaker upgrade on my DP and have the external sub, but have not messed with any amps. I thought about going pinwoofer, but not sure if that's the route I want to go just yet.

It would be awesome to hear what you decide on here or via PM as I'm very interested myself.

I want to give my Rush LE some great sound.

I understand, and that's a great perspective. I've heard good things about PW. I will say though, the $25 on Kenwoods weren't a waste of money. There was a definite improvement 100% noticeable; with an external sub and cranked loud it sounded great for us. $25 is a very small amount for a pinball mod if you don't want to spend $400+ on a PW.

Might not be a PW level or difference, but when that costs $400+ and the speakers cost $25, and we went from crap 4" speakers to 5.25" Kenwoods and we're happy with the sound difference that made, it wasn't a waste of money. Not at all. I may explore the consideration of a pw for Rush just to try one out as I have a dedicated Klipsch for it already - it sounds like a fun investment.

So, how did you like the actual gameplay?

I think you're overthinking it - just look.
