Now this is all very silly. The SW sets we've seen so far show that TLG is not
dogmatic about scale, which is fine with me. So I wouldn't be surprized to see
a falcon about 2 or 3 times the size of the X-wing set. Sure, some fans might
complain that it's too small, but that's preferable to overlooking the flagship
of the trilogy.
And if they really found the size of the Falcon prohibitive, I doubt they'd
make the dozens of playsets that you seem to expect.
Sure, profit will encourage them to stretch out the product line, but I don't
expect them to go too far beyond SW vehicles. I'd say we'll get a total SW line
of about 36 sets - about 6 per film.
But I'd be glad to find that I am grossly mistaken.
