There are reviews on YouTube from rocketpunch he does feel that the sideswipe mp-12 was better than the original . However the spelling were wrong at the back and the headlights seem to have no black outline like the original.

The box back then for ko were glossy while originals were matt. This has changed as Nissan ko boxes looked very identical to the original ones

I have seen the sideswipe but not the nissans.

I will recommend getting original as when they are on pre order as I can get them as low as under $70 delivered.
