YOu know you're at a ska concert when the band outnumbers the audience 2:1.

Ska went back underground after the 2-Tone era, and has stayed there.

its not for everybody... for that, there's radio.

Hey, South Florida used to be a ska hub...but that was back when X flowed freely and no floor was too awful to black out on.

Tune in to any station, you'll always hear the same song playing all day long, on every station, except the one news and that one college rock station in between.

Shockwave, please send me some of those bands names that play this, I wish to look further into this...

Jason Abbadon · 01-19-2012, 09:00 PM

Yes...back then there was no laws against Ecstasy or "Herbal X" at all- vendors sold Herbal X in clubs.

here ya go:

Jamaican Ska (the birth)
The Skatalites
Prince Buster
Desmond Dekker
Toots and the Maytals
The Wailers (early early Bob Marley stuff)
Don Drummond
Alton Ellis
Derrick Morgan
Justin Hinds and the Dominoes
Byron Lee and the Dragonaires
The Melodians

2-Tone Ska (the renaissance)
The Specials
The Selecter
The Beat (aka The English Beat)
Bad Manners
Madness (went Pop after coming up Ska - took their band name from a Prince Buster song and their biggest hit, 'One Step Beyond,' is also a re-recording of a Prince Buster song.)

as far as modern ska bands, HEPCAT is worth listening to.

hope this helps! enjoy yourself.

Would this count as madness?
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Sort of. I wouldn't spend that, but some serious MU collectors (sorry guys, we're not all accounted for on this site) would pay a lot to get that specific set at once.

Indeed it's about 67 for each figure if you break it down by 3...didn't realize that Warpath is that much as well?

FallenOne · 01-19-2012, 10:33 PM

I didn't realize the new trend was to make an ass of yourself on ebay. These auctions lately are pure comedy.

basically $100 for vision and $50 for blade and $50 for warpath, all in all it's not cheap but it's the going rate on ebay.

MeLikeJinx · 01-19-2012, 11:08 PM

Someone needs to kick that dude in the Sparta well... seriously. Plus, Flame-on Johnny Storm is not even rare like Vision IMO.

behindthemask · 01-19-2012, 11:14 PM

Plus the guy won't answer questions, which means he knows he's being a super douche and doing this to scam some poor sap, but he doesn't even try to sell it, by making up a big 1-2 paragraphs saying how important and rare it is, given I don't actually have the figure myself so I would like it, but not at 60x the original price, $600 would get me a build a figure giant man, buid a figure fin fang foom, Marvel legends series 6 deadpool, both 2 pack deadpool and warpath figures and enough left over to get nick fury mail away. or 2-3 hot toys figures, all for same asking price as his asking price, rubbish!

It is delivered by the president and shipped in a gold box.

I'd delivered by an squirrel riding an eagle who drops it at 10,000 feet, chuck norris kicks it to a falcon who punches it, and then Obama kisses it before it arrives safely at your door.

Only madness that he's selling all three at the same time! He'd do better piecing them out, lol.

I think $100 is too much for anything less than SDCC master series myself...

behindthemask · 01-19-2012, 11:23 PM

or mail away figures!

Anyone tempted to create a dummy account and bid on it:P?

behindthemask · 01-19-2012, 11:32 PM

nope, just giving this scalper hope, and we can't give them any!

No, but you could sell it to me for that price minu 2 0's lol. he goes for $50-200 range depending on the seller. He is 1 of the last remaining ML IM figures I need and of course he's 1 of the rarest, then still need destroyer and face off variant war machine, and of course the 2 new versions that got released, the rest are a few MS and movie figures, then I'm done, yay.

bmorr · 01-20-2012, 06:16 AM

ironically i do need that human torch figure....
