Fellow Seibertronian xRotorstormx sends us a peculiar sighting from Nashville, TN. Remember those custom Optimus Prime comic book longboxes, priced at about $30-$40 each? It looks like they eventually made it to other retailers outside of the original one, and have been found at $16.99! Though we have no idea about the reason for the price difference, we do get another good look at the collectable collecting item for collectors - check out the pictures below.

I got it at the Great Escape, Nashville, TN. They have two locations and the one I got it at was at Charlotte Avenue. When I walked in they had 3 total on display (from what I saw) .

Found them at a con a couple of weeks ago for $15.
The big issue seems to be the shipping according to the vendor. Bought two of them.
The entire Marvel and Dreamwave run can fit in one (not every variant mind but still).
Honestly, I am really happy with these, great way to store the comics.
And I still have an empty truck cab and a lot of space in one trailer to fill out.
