We heard rumblings of the rumor but quickly forget it until the Etsy Scavenger "memorials" reminded us of this sad truth...
Polaroid has decided to phase out the beloved instant film. Having gone through the i-Zone phase, the JoyCam phase and finally back to the basics, we're more than a little bit crushed.
Call us troglodytes but we're not ready for a digital-only age. First the Gocco and now the Polaroid...what's next?
Are you stocking up?

WHAT!?!?!
yes, i've already bought a few packs of film
I need to stock up, I haven't used mine for a while but I'm sure my nephew would love it.
I bought an old school... REALLY old school Polaroid camera (1960's style, with the white frames around the edges) off of e-bay a couple of years ago. Polaroid till made the film, which was great. Will be sad to see it go.
Arghhh!! Why must they do this?? Can't they just have it as special order even? Or do a big ad campaign for this "retro" fab camera?? I will be stocking up tomorrow. Rotten people who decide these things!
all instant film? even the sx70?
Are you serious?
It's so depressing...
wow. that is so sad. i'm super bummed now. :[
