Hi Guys, What do you think the quality of these Knock Offs on EBay? Particularly Sideswipe, Sideswipe Gold Version, and Red Alert. They're going for about $40 with free shipping. Thanks.

Nobody really support ko, if you are buying just to do custom jobs they will do.


If you miss the original, just hang on. I miss it myself.

A reissue of Sideswipe has already been announced, I'm sure Red Alert wont be to far behind

The KO's are really shit. I (out of curiosity) purchased a red alert for $40 delivered. got it- opened it- looked at it- resold it on gumtree.

It just looked fake even the back where it says Countache it said Contage it was real dodgy looking, and the siren lights are faded like watered down colour.

look at it from a far and yeah who cares about detail. But just cant do it.

DONT DO IT! :)

The Red Alert was not a good KO though. I have heard from friends the Tiger Track and sideswipe were ok. However I wouldn't promote it. Its just $20 more for RRP when release.

The second runs, are they only at BBTS? If so I will just have to wait on. I am in no rush.

I can get MP Tigertracks for US$70 which is AU$77 from Ebay with free postage. Good deal?

If it's a knockoff then, no, it's a rip-off. If it's real then happily go for it.

I received my MP Red Alert KO aka Alert. I opened the box and i was instantly disapointed. SO this is how a cheap knock-off looks like....

My advice.... dont even think of buying one. Its crap, it looks like crap and it will never be more then... crap. Save those bucks for a few beers instead, saving one of those for me for saving you from a huge mistake:D

Won't do you any favours by stating that :rolleyes:
Hopefully the buyer's not from the board.
