UtaPri merchandise gone too far?

Broccoli goods announced last week that UtaPri scrunchies can be purchased at their store for 700 yen each (that's approximately $7 AUD).
Seriously!? $7 for a piece of rubber covered with some cloth to tie your hair with!
Then they also announced that they will start selling these really UGLY stockings that no one would dare to wear outside the house, for a price of 2,500 Yen (approx. $25 AUD). =="

No second season of K but a movie instead

Last night an event for the anime K, titled "K-Who is the next-" was held. With JunJun, OnoD, Sakurai Takahiro, Kenjiro and Namikawa participating in the event.
It was announced that there will be a movie (rather than the fan-speculated second season) and its tentative release date is set for 2014. No other information is available yet. 
Pictures stolen from Kenjiro's twitter.
Personally I would've preferred a second season, but then I'm not sure how they would develop the story considering the first season ending. Let's just wait and see how the movie turns out (i.e. don't get your hopes high).
