I would want a fully sealable lid though? 

No, as Kelsey mentioned, they won't handle the pressure. I preferred my cube not to completely seal anyway, after listening to an interview with a pro brewer asked whether he would consider trying no-chill in his home brewing. He said he wouldn't want a completely sealed cube because the bacteria that will grow in an anaerobic environment may kill you, whereas the bacteria that will grow in an aerobic environment may spoil your beer. I haven't experienced spoiled beer (or death) yet.

Cheers,

I don't think anyone else has experienced death from no-chilling in cubes either, certainly no reported cases of it. Mind you, it's pretty hard to completely remove all air from them anyway, so there's always going to be a little bit of oxygen in there.
