The Limited Edition of Stern’s Rush is the deluxe expression of John Borg’s 2022 tribute to the Canadian power trio — the same beloved design as the Pro, dressed up with premium toys and a shaker motor that lets you feel every drum fill. Borg, the Stern veteran behind music pins like Metallica and Kiss, built the table as a stadium-sized salute to a band whose fans prize musicianship the way pinball players prize a clean combo, and the LE turns the volume all the way up. Three flippers feed a field crowned by a bidirectional thrust magnet on a motorized ramp that flings the ball with a drummer’s snap.

As on every Rush, the heartbeat is the setlist: sixteen songs — from “Tom Sawyer” and “The Spirit of Radio” to “2112” and “Red Barchetta” — are yours to choose at the start of each ball, with custom speech from Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson. A transparent subway insert lets you watch locked balls idle below the surface, and the signature action button on the lockdown bar diverts your ramp feeds left or right, a strobing flasher tipping you off where the next shot will land.

Strategy starts with song selection, since the colored records you light steer which song mode you fall into — and on the Premium and LE, a ball locked in Far Cry always kicks out the bottom, a useful quirk to plan around. The game honors late drummer Neil Peart, who died in 2020, with Stern backing a research award in his name. Loud, deep, and lavishly equipped, the Rush LE is a fitting monument to a band that never coasted.
