Default polaroid discontinues instant film =[

So the Walmart in my town stopped carrying polaroid 600 film this month, i just found out today. There is nowhere else to get it here; Walmart had it for 10 bucks a pack(10 pictures) up until this month.

The prices for it online seem to all be double this or more. Anyone know where i can find it cheaper? =[

the one i bought in october and used this week worked ok..it didn't seem messed up or anything. it's really close to the expiration date still..but i've used some that expired before i got it(cheaper than new on ebay) and it worked decently. theres gotta be some warehouse somewhere full of it that they're trying to get rid of eh?

THAT'S IT? Where I work it's selling at $50/pack of 10. That's about right for the area, too.

Polaroid film will be back in production independently in early 2010. Cross your fingers.

Default Project website

If you want to keep track of the progress to make the 2010 milestone, here's a website on the project to re-vamp the Polaroid factory:
