50,000 pearls for an x3 hat?

Really, Rovio? Seriously? That is insane. I have been playing this game since the beginning and I have been saving pearls all this time. Thankfully I found four of them in the tower and barely have enough to buy the last three, but I am not sure if I want to part with all those pearls. Is this a fixed price or will it come down at some point? At this price it will drain almost everything I have. Down to a pittance.
