Notable quotes
“Stern once again almost defies what's possible by showing literally hundreds of Rush Premium Edition machines being assembled and put into boxes on a recent Instagram and YouTube video post taken from their enormous production facility just outside of Chicago.”
“The scoops were made out of like recycled McDonald's ashtrays that would just crush instantly.”
“One category that has yet to be exploited by any of the manufacturers is anime, the hugely popular animation style out of Japan... Jersey Jack Pinball has obtained an anime license, which it may or may not turn into a game in the future.”
“If you were to order a rush right now that it came out in 2023 and then a new revised fourth version of the scoop came out sometime in 2024.”
“I would at least suggest the Mylar, if not send someone just a square of it. I mean, how much would it cost them? Like $10 to send someone a square of Mylar?”
“The global anime market is projected to reach close to $50 billion by 2030.”
“They're going to want to have something... I could see maybe doing one more this year and then doing a later to start 2023.”
“I placed your order in 2021 as of January of this year its price went up to godzilla's price and that's not your fault.”
