Goodbye type 55

Polaroid announced today it will close factories and cease production of all instant films. You can see the AP story here: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_8209093
I'll try to stockpile some type 55 film, but the stuff doesn't age that well so it will all be gone in a few years. It would be great if Fuji would take over some of this business as they have shown some interest in 4x5 and medium format instant pack films, but it is hard to imagine them expanding those offerings.
