Polaroid dead? Not yet! Urban Outfitters has teamed up with The Impossible Project to sell "a limited edition 700 hand-numbered deadstock Polaroid camera kits," which will include the much sought after and nearly extinct Polaroid Instant Film, and the Polaroid ONE600 Classic. These are the last of what's left, and it all goes on sale tomorrow (price is still unknown). The Williamsburgsters are not happy about this. Vintage Polaroid is their thing, Urban Outfitters; you can't just co-opt hipster style and sell it off to the masses. Anyway, one poster says, "I do not think anyone will buy a Polaroid at UO and do anything meaningful with it. There, I said it." Alright, Polaroid is so over, everyone get Lomos now. FML!
