Read my comments on the "Falcon in the Works?" thread.
I am now convinced that we will see a Falcon model, just not
to mini-fig scale. Perhaps even as a Model Team set. It could
quite easily be done at a much smaller size than what a minifig
would require. Not quite micro-fig, but somewhere in-between.
Using that same scale, would make Star Destroyers and Death
Star models a realistic possibility.
