Oh man!!  I allmost hope your kidding.  I just think a Millennium Falcon in the
kind of detail that we see in the comming X-Wing and Tie Interceptor would have
to be in the $700 range.  I could be wrong however if they decide to stay away
from scale restrictions in the series.  I suppose they could make a Falcon in
incredible detail that is only fractionally bigger than the X-Wing.

I wonder what people would think of that.  Would you allow for more flexibilty
in scale in this new line?  If the scale of a Falcon were significantly smaller
than the scale of the X-Wing would there be a problem?  Or would that be seen
as OK in a series such as this?

I would like to here everyones feelings on this.

I'm the farthest thing from a Star Wars expert, but just from my
memory of seeing the movies a couple of times, if the Collector's
X-Wing is the same size or a little bigger than the current toy
model, wouldn't that make the Falcon something like 4 feet across?

Personally, I'd like it to be to scale, but it wouldn't be possible.
I'd pay for it, but it won't happen.

Scaling it down wouldn't bother me, as long as it was truly scaled
down and not selectively compressed.

(...) I definitly think the new "Ultimate Collectors Series" sets are marketed almost directly to adults. For one, looking at all the pieces in these models my guess is that these models are probably going to go for $100+ each. I hope I am wrong (...)
