There’s been chatter that the Hot Wheels character cars assortment contains spoiler information for the Solo movie. Could it be the characters themselves?
Take a look at these pictures posted by the site Take Five A Day. They estimate that these ships are about 4” in size. They look a tad smaller to me. Could this be a revival of the Titanium scaled vehicles?
In addition to the individual cars and multipacks hitting stores, the first track playset has been spotted. The Death Star Battle Blast track comes with an X-Wing styled car that can be launched down a track to destroy the Death Star. The set scanned at $14.97. Click through for the full sized images.
Is it me or did this one slip under the radar at SDCC? Mattel announced that in addition to the character cars, they will be releasing starhips and playsets.

You can see photos of the starships and the Hoth playset at Sir Steve’s Guide. The “click through” link will bring you to Mattel.com for the press release.
USA Today has provided updated information on the SDCC Exclusive Darth Vader Hot Wheels set. The price will be a somewhat eye popping $40 and the set will include a lightsaber case and light-up features.
Thanks to our own Darth Dre for alerting us to this. Mint In Box has a first look at the Star Wars Hot Wheels line.
As first reported by our friends at Jedi Temple Archives, Star Wars Hot Wheels are now confirmed. Site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has two different Star Wars Hot Wheels products available for pre-order. One is a case of Star Wars Character Cars and the other is a case of 4 Star Wars “Racing Tracks” (presumable a car and track). Both are in the 1:64 scale.
The image below is not the basis of the actual product. It’s just an estimate of what the character cars might look like. This is a Darth Vader custom car from West Coast Customs.
