When Might Ultra Pro Make More 100+ Deck Boxes?

Ultra Pro has produced deck boxes that hold over one-hundred sleeved cards, for EDH decks, which is great, but they have made only eight such boxes, one of each color of this game and three with artwork (specifically, artwork of Aurelia, Riku, and Progenitus), compared to the countless normal-sized deck boxes that they have made. Since some players may have more than eight EDH decks, they shall be forced to have multiple copies of the same box to carry all of those decks.
I currently have all eight of those boxes, and each of them contains a deck, but, I never use the same deck box twice, so, if I wish to build more decks, I shall need to wait for Ultra Pro to make more 100+-sized deck boxes, but I have no way of knowing when they shall do that, which is frustrating.
What does everyone else say about this? When might Ultra Pro make more 100+ deck boxes?
EDH players are pretty protective of their decks. They're usually known for sticking with big projects over time and decks become pretty expensive in the process. Most experienced players I know prefer sturdy boxes. Those things are just flimsy plastic boxes. I think Ultra Pro knows they have less of a market for 100 card boxes than they do for regular ones.

Satin towers hold EDH decks just fine and come in 11 different colors. I have never had anything from ultimate guard except the cheap flimsy plastic one that came free with orders from Potomac Distribution so I can't second the recommendation there. If you are looking for the flimsy plastic ultrapros there are ultimate guard for 100+ in about 20 colors as well.

The Satin towers give you the best product for your money, when it comes to Ultra-Pro EDH deck boxes, they're your best bet.

Also this one is really nice, the Elder dragon holds 2 decks with space for your tokens and comes in a ton of colors. I got one and I love it.

I believe you're referring to the mana flip boxes? Those come in 7 different colors, one for each color of mana, a gold one and a gray one with the planeswalker symbol on it. Just FYI.
In addition to that, there are the satin towers which now come in 13 different colors right now. Personally, I recommend these. They look really nice together when you have multiple decks in them, and they're interchangeable in 3 different parts, which is great for EDH.
These are really nice too, and Ultra Pro has their own version and its pretty sweet.
This one is pretty cool, and not by ultra pro.
The Grimoire Is a beautiful, albeit expensive option for you as well
Ultimate Guard has some awesome options too. The Monolith is like the tower but is cut differently. I personally like the way this one is cut, and when they are put together they look really good. The colors are slightly off from the colors they represent in magic (and black is purple) but they are nice nonetheless. This one that they sell is a mix of the leather flip boxes by ultra pro and the Deck Locker.

I have 12, and am working on number 13. I think individual boxes is not what you should look for, but something that can carry all of them. I have a shoebox looking thing that holds 12. Got one of these for number 13 when it is ready. Beyond that, no idea yet.
At my old shop, people used a Dewalt box it is made for carrying nuts, and bolts. Quite a few people used them. If you are looking to protect your stuff I think this is a really strong box to do it with. There is also a smaller version that some people had.
Edit, if you want the dewalt box, it looks like buying it in store at Home Depot is cheaper then Amazon.

I need to offer a dissenting opinion on the Elder Dragon Vault. I got one a year ago and I hate it. With a single sleeved deck there is barely enough room for me to fit a finger behind the vertically stored deck to lift it out since there is only the finger slot on the one side. The finger slot for the horizontally stored deck only reveals about 1/8" (approximately 3 mm) of the cards, so i have to slip a finger behind the deck and then deform the separator between the dice and deck by sticking my thumb down further than the slot to grip the deck.
In overall construction the Elder dragon vault is rugged and the magnetic closure works well. For someone who has smaller hands than me or is willing to modify the $30 deck box with ribbons to assist lifting then it is fine. But I prefer the satin towers you can hold and easily remove double sleeved decks and have room for dice. Price wise you can get storage for 3 decks for the same MSRP as the Elder Dragon Vault's 2 decks.

In my initial post, I was referring to deck boxes such as this one, here. I like how that box is nearly the same size as a normal box, but can fit a 100-card deck.
I admit that some of the products that other users here have suggested are very nice, but they are too large to fit comfortably into the bag that I use to carry my M:tG products or my desk drawers, where I store them when I am not using them. I wish to have uniformity among my deck boxes whenever possible, and some of the products here would disrupt that uniformity.
Thankfully, I have discovered this box, here, which is nice, because it is a different color from any other large deck box that I own while still being the same size as them.a Even better, that discovery led me to learn that that brand, Ultimate Guard, has boxes of other colors, as well, including yellow, pink, brown, and gray, none of which I currently own, so it seems that my search has reached a satisfying conclusion.

If I may point you to Potomac Distribution they have the same cases for a little over half the price of Amazon.

Are satin towers the boxes you are referring to? If so might I suggest throwing some ultimate guard monoliths into the mix? The colors are better imo and the design is great
