Thanks to Bubba101212 and Scavenger for bringing this to our attention.

Nice...has this case been found at any retail stores?

Very surprised to see Ruka in this list as I thought she was a Kmart exclusive car for the Oct 19th event.

According to posters on CTT, this was likely yet another warehouse mix-up from Mattel and this may very well be the Kmart case. One reseller had a few Q cases mixed in with an order for other cases.

I don't think its the Kmart case, but I guess we shall see

I don't think this is the Kmart case - the Kmart case is supposed to contain 3 Rip Clutchgoneski with gold metallic paint as part of the case assortment.

D'oh...you're right. Maybe this is a case that was supposed to wait to be released after Kmart Day, so they could at least claim "first to market" for a week or two.

To answer some questions and/or offer more comments.

As far as I know it's not been found in retail stores - it was found in an eBay listing (and the cases have since been sold).

It probably should have been released after the Kmart Day but wasn't... when is first to market not first to market?

Assuming most Kmart stores get only one master carton (4 cases), there were more Ruka and Ichigo and Mildred Bylane and Guido/Luigi with shakers than Kmart ordered... hence the changes in case assortments/contents and these Cars being put in case Q.

Kmart won't be happy that more of these Cars have been released before the Kmart event... back for Kmart 5, I received the 8 Kmart Cars from a friend in Australia 6 weeks before the Kmart event... we'll hopefully know the Kmart assortment soon.
