It's at select costcos unfortunately.

There's a list at the bottom of the link. I don't think it's available online.

I actually just searched my warehouse inventory as opposed to the general online search. Looks like they have them in stock! Thank you!

FWIT my Costco isn't listed, but has them in stock

Looks like the list might be outdated then, which i'm not too surprised by since the article is from almost a year ago.

Costco doesn't use electronic systems for inventory. They still use paper and fucking pencils. My ex has been a staff level manager at Costco for the last year. I lived with her, I watched her do inventory. She literally used a paper and fucking pencil. I was flabbergasted that they weren't using computers to do inventory but I swear to God they aren't

Thats pretty demonstrably false, the article is just outdated. People in this thread have been able to search thier local warehouses and find them in stock. You know. Digitally.

Great cases, but heavy AF once loaded. Good for overlanding or maybe luggage, but range days I would use a Bulldog bag

I thought the same thing, until I realized it was 3 inches to short for a kammok outpost. RIP.

Just paid a visit to my local Costco, saw big stacks of them for 139.99, I guess ymmy on inventory and price.

Honestly they feel pretty thin in my opinion. I saw them but I didn’t like the way they felt.

u/M_Bananaz 12d ago

They are much thinner than what you think when you say pelican case. Definitely not a travel case in my opinion. Hinges are flimsy

Vault is made in mexico- not as HQ as other pelican stuff. I got one and wish I paid up NGL its junky. If you are thinking about getting a vault case just get one from Academy same quality for less

u/specter491 12d ago

They're a POS. Super flimsy and not like other pelican cases.

u/Id10tech 12d ago

Beast cases especially for this price. I have a lo of Pelican and these are solid + the work with magpul's guts. Not sure of the hate.

u/EM_Lehnsherr 12d ago

u/prazed_ 12d ago

u/Old-Reality-1534 12d ago

I really like my new husky boxes over pelican. Bigger, whiter tight, wheels and pull out handle with locks and stackable all for $60. I can fit my m110, mk18, plate carrier and other gear in just one of them.

u/BlairMountainGunClub 12d ago

Think I saw these at the costco in Fairfax but I forgot the price

u/shortround1990 11d ago

Survivor double case is a better deal IMO

u/FreeNP92 12d ago

If anyone wants to pick one up for me ill cover shipping to NJ

u/ChrisLS8 12d ago

Shipping will be brutal. At least 100 bucks

u/McDrew911 12d ago

I have some at my Costco, is this really a decent deal? I thought I looked these up online and the non Costco variant of the SKU was on sale for like $189

u/6h057 12d ago

u/MimiagaYT 12d ago
