BDYETP 65: Rush Pinball Impressions, Multimorphic New Hires, Manufacturer and Game Room Updates

[@blawicki]

Just picked up a NIB Sept 2021 Iron Maiden Prem for 8k. I was floored and drove 7 hrs to get it from a larger dealer. Not quite MSRP, but there's somebody selling one on Pinside for 12,500. I can't imagine that's a correct gauge of the market. By gauge, I meant gouge. My bad.

[@BuffaloPinball]

8k premium in 2021 was a good pick up, congrats!

Rush looks great - ordered the pro, husge fan 😎

[@BuffaloPinball]

Hope you enjoy it!

Guys, great episode. Long time watcher that’s lurked for years . Never felt compelled to comment until today just to say that Balleramma is a total train wreck but ads alot of good content to your guys show that I came back for!

[@BuffaloPinball]

Thanks Hans! Appreciate the comment, glad you're enjoying the show.

Personally cant stand rushs jazz/rock style but its really cool if youre a fan to get a pin of your favourite band, concidering how many stern are churning out theyre bound to make one for me sooner or later..

[@Retrosys]

That’s the right attitude to have. They do, on average, 3-4 titles a year and not all of them can be for me.

[@bludragon77]

Never would have guessed rush, knew stern was working on another music pin. Not a huge rush fan, I like a few songs but that’s about it so this one is gonna be a pass for me, or I’ll try it when my local arcade gets one. Art is good looks like it’s a bit to easy not challenging for experienced pinball players, for casual players like me the shots are fine

[@BuffaloPinball]

Yeah not a buy for me but looking forward to playing it. I like the X-Men layout a lot and if it's got better rules it should be a fun one.

[@mootsym]

I think we should do a new band every year for every pin that comes out for the next 20 years. Seriously. I know a lot of people like it, but it’s getting kind of silly now. AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Guns & Roses.. Guns & Roses again.. and oh.. Rush! Plenty of bands to go. I think KISS should get their 3rd machine, or maybe Queen, or Boston, or Black Sabbath.. etc etc.

P3 is looking more and more like a great idea. Happy with mine. Tho I thought the next (and licensed title) would have dropped by now.

[@BuffaloPinball]

Agreed, I want it now!! /Veruca

[@sir_snarf]

Great content as always Kevin and Nick! Keep up the great work =D

[@user82938]

lol, that Austin Powers shot, for sure.

[@-COZ]

Enjoyed the show. I’m a small time operator and I’m priced out of buying new games.

[@BuffaloPinball]

It's insane, man...

[@gusphan]

It's rough out there for sure. Hope things get better, just not sure how they will... -Nick

[@Retrosys]

Pinball Enthusiasts complains all day about band pins. I’m not the biggest fan of band pins, but they have an audience, and that audience obviously has money to buy pins. I personally picked up a Rush Pro as it’s going to add variety to my line up of Black Knight Pro, Jurassic Park Pro, and Godzilla Premium. I also love Rush music and I think it’ll go well with pinball.

[@gusphan]

Congrats! I'm tempted to grab a Pro, will wait and see how the rules are... -Nick

[@Mugen_4_lifeKRXR]

Love the typical it looks like game X cause it has a damn scoop talk on fb groups! Borgs made games for three decades of course we will see some similarities from game to game! CGC quality at 8k beats sterns prem 9k all day! Godzilla's still the best stern aside from JP. Just my two cents 🤣 Congratulations on the new job Nick I also just took a new tech job with a healthy sign on bonus... told my wife it was going toward a new pinball machine and she wasn't impressed, I countered with I could have left out the sign on bonus and just bought it anyways lol! Just gotta wait until CGC builds Elvira's house of horrors remake with intended ramps with diverter and apron spiderweb mech for 8k and I'm in baby! 30k for Elvira with purple powdercoat? FML who knew purple powdercoat was worth 22k! 😤 and I thought $400 for my powdercoat including coindoor and other little parts was high!

[@gusphan]

Thanks and congrats to you as well! -Nick

[@thomasroberts9937]

You need to make Ballarama a segment! Intro music please!

[@BuffaloPinball]

hahahahah I love it!

[@gusphan]

Seconded. I love this idea. We need someone talented to make an intro song for them. Maybe a collaboration between Goren's beautiful voice and Whobbly Chair's slide whistle.

[@SirMachismo]

Discs of Tron is my favorite game! I had an environmental version at my local arcade as a kid... I still miss it. I am currently making a marque light box for the same 3D Lenticular Marquee! This Old Game did a great job with it.

[@BuffaloPinball]

Heck yeah! Great game, and the environmental is such an experience. My boards are all out for repair right now, can’t wait to get em back

[@professorterry1808]

As a fellow Australian Ballarama are making us all look like morons! I promise you all Australians aren't like these people. Some of us actually know AFM was made in 1995

[@BuffaloPinball]

Scary isn't it? We know you're not all like Ballarama, though!
