I'm referring to the Polaroid Pack film camera size. I've read that it is discontinued, but I see that it is still available at retailers. Is this surplus stock being sold off?
I know the 4x5 version is long gone and very expensive if you can find it. I have 6 packs of it that I have squandered away.

I think Fuji announced it would be gone for good at the end of the year.

Subsequently prices skyrocketed at dealers. Scalping, I guess? Anyway, I bought as much as I could afford then when I found one retailer still selling it for $9/box. Now it's at like $18/box most places or more?

Yes. There was an official announcement from Fuji last year. What's on the shelves now is the last of the final shipment from Fuji.

Sigh. It was my favorite instant film.

yep, over $18 a box @ B&H, and they are the cheapest I have found.
Dam, was really liking the paper negative scans from this film.
Let's hope the FP-100C doesn't follow shortly, but my guess is that it will.

$22 a box here in Honolulu.
