I think there are two reasons why there will be a falcon:
1. Considering what Hasbro and others have paid for their licenses from
Lucasfilm it is likely that TLG has paid something in the high eight to
possibly nine digit dollar amount for their license. With this large capital
outlay the bean-counters will be pressing hard for TLG to get the most out of
their license. An example of this is the fact that with a turn-around time of
half what is normal for producing a set they are releasing 13 sets in the
first year.
2. A falcon would be priced under $150.00 if we use the upcoming Sith
Infiltrator (see sirstevesguide.com/legos/e1/v/sithinfiltrator.html) as an
example. It appears to be at least 2/3 the size of the falcon (see
theforce.net/prequels/newspics/crosssections_infiltrator.jpg - SPOILER. If
this is going for $89.99 then a falcon should come in under $150.00.
