I've also noticed that before, when a guy posted a scan from newly printed
EP1 cutouts book, featuring Infiltrator's inside look (1). Its size looks
very close to Falcon, and this just gives some clues about "long awaited"
Falcon set of future. I just don't want to break down peoples sweet
dreams..:-)

(1) At least, according to this scan, Maul's speeder bike is stored in the
front mandibles of the ship, if I remember correctly, it is not a part of
the cockpit at the back of the ship and it consumes a very small part of the
ship in scale. Also ship has many storage areas for evil devices and some
serious living quarters.(2)
(2) I don't know how could TLG succeeded being approved by Lucasarts about
this set, but it also give clues about "how tight" the rumoured and
"trusted" Lucasarts control above the TLG is.

| (...) I have that book, and I don't think it's really the same size as the Falcon (err, the Infiltrator, that is, not the book! :D). It does seem to be smaller. (...) That is true.
