    Default KO Masterpieces Sideswipe & Red Alert query

    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.

    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!

    OTCA member purchased one at the fair - you can ask him about the quality.

    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.
