High expectations from Father Christmas . . . what would you say?

My DS (Age 6) has chosen what he really really wants from Father Christmas from the Lego catalogue. He has made a good choice of 2 reasonably priced things and we are happy to buy him these (from Father christmas.) Plus a few surprises in his stocking. He's always been really pleased before.
But . . . he keeps drooling over a Star Wars spaceship that costs £250 and I have told him that there is no way on earth that Santa is gonna bring him it, as it's too expensive, etc.
Apart from the comments (But he's magic mummy!) . . .how do i explain if a school friend is given a very expensive gift from Santa? It is bound to happen.
DS's a lovely little boy( most of the time) who is not spoilt at all andI don't want to disappoint him but I wouldn't feel comfortable spending this amount of money. (I also think he wouldn't really play with it that much.)
Has anyone else had a similiar problem?

Have only just looked at the Lego and blimey, I definitely wouldn't spend £250 on that! A. it's only Lego and B. completely unsuitable for small children - definitely a collector's item.

I like the story about FC being magic and knowing what you will really play with.
