    These are so awesome. I definitely needs these. Hope they do a Nemesis Prime or Motormaster too.

    These look cool and I had a few long boxes with all my marvel dream wave devils due and IDW comics in until.our house flooded (get this the boxes were thick enough to.protect all my comics inside AND the only placed that didn't get flooded where were my transformers figures were. I was SUPER lucky!) and then I had to.remove the.comics but I eventually dried out the comic box and warped and all is still in tact today. Do you.guys think these will be as tough?


    I'm not sure what u mean transformers collectors are far from "cheap" :) 


    Ahhhhh I'm interested to hear more on these "stack able comic boxes" please elaborate

    Yes, these are rather expensive for comic boxes, no matter how neat they may look. But I would have to agree with someone else on here, at that price point you're better off getting those stackable/slideable comic boxes.

    Looking at 3rd Party add-ons and figures, I would be hard-pressed to say TF fans are "cheap."

    Love and,

    like but both too expensive. I have enough problems explaining the free versions (a saving points system for free stuff) to explain these and don't wanna end up :rip .:D

    Not a bad idea. I can envision that on my bookshelf filled with my valuable comics and stuff.

    THIS

    And those cheeky rascals STILL want to charge 60 dollars for CARDBOARD boxes. If this was a set of several G1 style PLASTIC boxes from Target or Wallmart, I might be interested.

    As, is...no.

    Hey thank you so much for posting about our boxes. Just a bit of information. We didn't price these boxes at $45 and $60 because we are trying to get rich or rip people off. The price is actually this high due to the size of the boxes and price for shipping. Shipping by UPS is $31 and the shipping box we put it inside is about $3. After manufacturing costs there is a very small profit. The store we have these listed on is for those who don't have a comic book store that carries our line of products. This set (Truck and Trailer) at a regular comic shop will retail for $16.99 which is pretty reasonable we think for the quality and look you get. It's also not just for storing comics but also boxed Transformers or really any collectable you want to store. Thank you again and everyone for the positive and also not so positive comments. We take them all in consideration.

    And with like a dozen spammed copies of this same post in response to a bunch of different comments, any interest I might have had drops to zero. A shame too since this post mentions they could possibly be found at a reasonable retail price, but I won't support spammers.

    So how wide spread are those regular comic shops and do they offer shipping?
    So much info and this is what they miss :)

    We currently have over 200 stores that offer our products. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but we are a small company. We will be attending most of the larger shows this year across the country as well so be on the look out there too. You can find this set soon from BCW as they will also be carrying this after the summer.

    Not a spammer just hard to run a business and answer tons of questions on all different types of social media and such. We are a small company run by my wife and I so we aren't perfect. Sorry to offend you.

    Since i live in a country that may still have a few comic stores only in the big cities that´s a lot of stores. A quick Google search says only 28 stores that fit the criteria of a physical comic store.:D
