ROIDS

so of course the polaroid news was upsetting to everyone, and since i am always on the hunt, i am able to occasionally find some packs of film, which then of course i spend $100 buying that particular store out of their pola film stock. and it is waaaay harder to find while i'm back here in the states!
yes you can buy in on ebay, but the bidding wars get atrocious .
anywho...
GREAT NEWS sad pola lovers!
When Polaroid stopped production of their Instant Film in 2008, The Impossible Projectpurchased all the machinery and equipment at Polaroid's Dutch factory to bring back Instant Film in 2010. Now Urban Outfitters presents a limited edition 700 hand-numbered deadstock Polaroid camera kits. The exclusive Special Edition will include one pack of Polaroid Instant Film along with one of the most sought after analog instant cameras, the Polaroid ONE600 Classic, the last Polaroid camera ever produced.

Urban Outfitters will offer additional deadstock original Type 779 Instant Film saved from the last production runs from the factory in The Netherlands, hand-selected, tested and stored at low temperatures exclusively. 
Wallpaper.com will also be partnering to host the pop-up shop in the Oxford Street location.

The launch at the London flagship will be on Friday, August 21st, simultaneously to the North American stores.
