Having coincidentally been looking round some dealer sites this am, it 
seems that in UK at least nobody really has either - though some will take 
your money. And it seems I was wrong, not you - the Polaroid 120 doesn't 
appear to be shipping yet, whereas the Nikon8000 is, but you probably 
can't actually get one.

May be different in the USA, as you generally get kit released some time 
before us Europeans.
