From what I understand, all the machinery for making 55/665 was scrapped during the Petters days. So it ain't gonna happen no way no how because the cost of re-building the machinery is not something any sane investor is going to support - they'd get maybe 1-2% ROI after 20 years because the up-front costs would be so high.

Yeah, Edwin Land's Polaroid is gone, relegated to the dustbin of history. If you want new instant analog products, look elsewhere.

Maybe their first, second, and third choice for a spokesmodel flaked out on them?

Sounds like a di---l camera with a little printer attached to it that has Polaroid printed on it.
