I seriously doubt its schilling. The 2 highest bidders have fb of 172 and
206. Schilling usually happens with peopel with low fb.
And the highest it ever sold on Bricklink is $50 - here...

85 people want that fig on Bricklink.. 85!!! And ebay has the advantage over
Bricklink for stuff like this where the market sets the price, not the seller.
And its not like you can just go to shop.lego.com and pick up a copy of the
falcon, it has been sold out for some time (making a brief comeback when
more were 'found in the wherehouse').
So if anything, I would be surprised if it stayed at $51.. I think it wil go
for $60-75 easy.
