Has anyone seen a proto tool box in white before?

I ask because a few months ago I came across what I thought is a rarity on zoro. The 67" 450 series rolling workstation is pictured as red but the description clearly says white color. Even the PN indicates the color is white because it ends in the letters "WT" whereas other proto boxes end in BL for blue, RD for red and so forth.

Once I realized the color description is white and not what the picture was showing, I started to contemplate a white tool chest instead of blue. For a few months I drooled over web images of white SO and Mac boxes. Over those months the unique color grew on me and seems like it'll be a color that will stand the test of time. Sure it will get dirty easily and show grease streaks, but I'm never above grabbing a wipe-off cloth if I think it's getting too disgusting. Anyways, when it is clean the white just seems so neat and almost sterile to me. It looks "sharp" to say it best.

So today I jumped on a promo code opportunity and ordered the white tool box. Of course I confirmed that it is indeed white and not red like the picture on the site. I'm really excited to receive the new chest, especially since I feel like I'll be the only kid in town with a white proto chest. At least for now; white may be the new popular standard color for proto in the near future for all I know. I will update once it's here.

Once again, just wondering if anyone else on here has ever seen a white Proto tool box because my web searching skills have turned up nothing.

Sounds classy, I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. I have several 440 series proto boxes and am thrilled with them for the price. The better ones also seem to have a great cost to value ratio, especially with a zoro coupon code.

Well it's not looking good. I just got an e-mail saying that it's on backorder and will not ship for a coupe more weeks. Then I got an e-mail from Proto saying that they don't make it in white anymore, at least not as a standard color. It could be special ordered, so I got to hoping that's what zoro will have to do. I called to ask if that's what zoro will do and they said they do not special order these things from the manufacturer. So I quizzed the sales person about how they'll acquire the white tool box now, and they didn't have any sort of definite answer for me. So I'm just going on a wing and a prayer that the zoro shipping facility has some sort of trick up their sleeve to acquire this item and get it shipped to me in the estimated time frame. I mean, they gave me a timeline estimate for a reason...right?
