I bought one locally along with my other unicorn. Ralliart Evo8. Lol so I have two mugen dc5 and a white dc5 Quote:

on a side note, has anyone seen this unicorn for sale before?: 
this was the only autoart that i noticed. most of the other stuff was domestics from ertl, greenlight, jada, etc..
something that was of interest to me was that they sold led lighting kits for various applications, from planes to cars to police and emergency vehicle setups. | |

I've seen that Metrotown auto accessories store beside the pet store carry the Mugen Integra before. Not sure if they still have it though, this was a month or two ago.

oh my bad... there is a pet shop next to autoworld?
i don't want to hate on autoworld, but with the prices they charge it's hard not to. they have a lot of nice vintage stuff, but that might be because no one can afford to buy them so they just sit for a very long time, and their prices climb as they become discontinued

Thumper, that blue DC5 for $60 is a steal, I've been looking for an AA DC5 for the longest time but they're all overpriced on Ebay, I'd pay you more then $60 for yours if you want to sell it to me lol.

wilkinsons has that kyosho for a lot more money than what this guy is asking for, so i was thinking it might be a good buy... but for me i know it has good collector value but as a diecast on it's own it's very dated and could have been better.
why is it no one else will do the supra? i think there was jada and whoever made the fast and furious version (ertl?) and neither were that good.

yeah the Ertl one was pretty bad.
the proportions were completely off. the wheels were a joke.
The paint and decal quality was decent for the F&F orange supra though.

i am thinking of going there after work today, but i am not sure how to deal with this because usually there is a specific model and a price in mind... not sure what to expect here and how much $ to bring. how did you and tofu handle this?
