Yep, that's the only option. Those two minifigs come with a Slave I
and Han will actually fit in the carbonite(kinda like the Adventurer's
coffin thing). Then they have the skiff with Luke & Chewie(and maybe
Lando) so people can get those new figs in a cheaper set, but knowing
that plenty of Slave I sets will sell based on looks alone.

Personally I don't buy any of what you just said. There will be a Slave I
either this year or next year, and it will be called 'SLAVE I'
TLG has a contract w/Lucas and they abide by his decisions and
he'd never allow them to call Slave I a crappy name like Bounty Hunter
Ship.

| (...) Ever heard of "Darth Vader's Star Destroyer Playset"? Kenner didn't want to call the playset for the ship "The Executor". I don't know that they wouldn't call it Slave I, mind you, just that it is possible for them to change the name if they (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
