Rush announced!

I’m trying to think of any iconic images for Rush. Something about a fat owl and maybe something to do with a truck?

At this rate the playfield is likely to be sparser than the Zepplin one.

I’m guessing it makes far more sense on the other side of the pond but even as a fan of dad rock the theme leaves me cold. Up there with Coldplay and Genesis (post Peter Gabriel).
 
I don’t get it. Why are new titles still getting announced as frequently as they used to despite the huge order backlog and parts shortages. Is it due to licensing and having to get them made. Surely Stern would sell more new Elviras than a newly announced Rush that barely anyone cares about.
 
looking on pinside and Facebook seems rush has a decent following. But I agree with Ian, Stern could be making Godzilla's and never fufull demand.

Is it to do with designers etc and how they get paid. Can't imagine all designers getting paid the same even if they don't get a title out.
@Neil McRae any thoughts on how they get paid and if this could have something to do with it?
 
Well, apparently Rush are relatively big. Who would have thought it?!? 😱 (they are still a total yawn fest though)

“According to the RIAA, Rush's sales statistics also place them third behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum albums by a rock band.[1] Rush also ranks 79th in US album sales with 25 million units.[2]

All I read from that is US market audience, bla bla bla old band, bla bla bla old...

With people over the age of 70 and when singles purchased in the 60 and 70s meant something 🤭😋

I suspect per game Stern make more from titles like Led Zeppelin and Rush compared to paying Disney big $$$$$ for Avengers... Star Wars is so poor because Stern had no money left to put stuff in the game.

Pretty much every game that Stern produces ends up in every barcade in the US so they sell. The designers are probably all paid the sameish.
 
It also has loads to do with licensing and when they (stern) are awarded it and for how long for etc etc

Also probably a lot to do with stern trying to tie as much pre order money as possible up, which means two things one the Money goes to stern and two it mean it doesn’t go to the competition. Also now they know they can just change the price even after people have ordered and paid for in full in some instances and they will just pay it rather than miss out…

thee are a few that drop out but there is a queue of people waiting to snap their orders up…
 
Ohh nice! I have Fly By Night on vinyl😙

Love it mainly for the owl, it's not my favourite album
