Given that "Hunger Games" fans tend to be on the young side, we're not sure how many of them can afford to spend almost $1,000 on a piece of jewelry. Nevertheless, a $999 Mockingjay pin will go on sale exclusively at Target.com later this month, to coincide with the DVD release of the movie, USA Today reports.
Along with the 14-karat gold replica of heroine Katniss Everdeen's Mockingjay pin, with 100 available at $999 each, Target will also sell other "premium items" beginning on Aug. 18, including leather replicas of Katniss' hunting jacket, with 100 available at $349 each, and "The Hunger Games" lithographs autographed by cast members including Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson, with 100 available for $699 each.
For those of us in the 99 percent, Target is also offering a deluxe edition of "The Hunger Games" in DVD ($20.99) and Blu-ray ($25.99), featuring a collectible case and 45 minutes of exclusive content, USA Today reports. Would you spend almost one grand on a Mockingjay pin, even if you could afford it?

I'm sure that some people might buy this & $999 is worth it to them.....but not to me.
Target, Walmart, or other similar outfits, then I would spend it on useful stuff such as
appliences and electronics. Not on some silly old pin or other piece of jewlery that is
only good for boosting ones ego, or worse, attracting bandits. There are plenty of
scullduggerers out there that would love to get their wicked little paws on a pricy piece
such as that pin in order to fence it, and to that end, they don't give a s**t who they hurt
(or worse) in order to accomplish their sinister goal. Is your life or health really worth an
overpriced piddley-ass little pin? Or the same of your friends and loved ones?
