A recent post in the Elite Series Collectors group on Facebook confirms that Disney plans on continuing the die cast Elite Series figures as images for the Elite Praetorian Guard and First Order Judicial Trooper have been revealed.

No, these aren’t a new type of walker in the Star Wars Universe. They are a new die cast segment from Hot Wheels where they take the familiar character car concept and apply it to all-terrain vehicles. The All-Terrain Character Cars feature die cast parts and working suspension and come in four and six wheel configurations. The cars have been found at Walmart include Luke Skywalker X-wing Pilot, BB-8, First Order Stormtrooper and Darth Vader.
Speaking of playsets… it looks like Hot Wheels is going to have a Millennium Falcon Ahch-To Playset for Force Friday II. It feature Light Up features and 20 sounds and an exclusive Chewbacca (repack) character car.
