I received phone calls yesterday concerning news about additional Cars coming out in the rest of 2012...looks like we've got some great Cars coming out but case assortments, on paper, don't look quite as good as cases D and E, each of which featured 8 new Cars out of 24 (33% if you count Chase Ramone).
From US case D, Victor H, Vladimir Trunkov, and Chase Radiator Springs Ramone:
From US case E, Chase Officer Murakarmi, Chase Becky Wheelin, and Don Crumlin:

Chase Becky Wheelin:
Some of the singles cases may include 3 new Cars but with only a total of 4 or 5 out of 24 (16% or 20%)... There will be a case F but it's not yet available to order - it will be shortly... Case G looks like a very good case - it's basically case E but with 1 change - 1 Ultimate Chase Car may be in the case, taking the place of 1 Race Team Mater - but it's not a guarantee that every case G will have an ultimate Chase... Case G may come out before case F - that's happened before with various Mattel Cars product (launchers case D with Retread/Shiny Wax came out before launchers case C with Fiber Fuel, Mood Springs, and Easy Idle)... Case F may include Otis, a Japanese girl at the party, and the Chase Car may be Mini without tires (from the airport scene)... Please keep in mind that until resellers have new cases in hand or we see them at stores, we don't know exact case contents.
Otis, Alex Vandel, and Suki:
Case G is scheduled to have the Ultimate Chase Car from Sweden; the Car is on the left of the following photo:

We should also see Ultimate Chase Cars from Mexico and Russia between now and the end of the calendar year... Several Cars featured recently on the Mattel website (and the Kmart poster) will be making appearances - we just don't know specific case assortments yet.
There are new Deluxe Cars listed - but The Queen is not currently listed on any of the new Deluxe cases between now and November... I know I was waiting for the same case that was found in Singapore and Australia containing Funny Car Mater, Kimura, and The Queen to come to the US.
Funny Car Mater:
Kimura:
The Queen:
There are more Take Flight case assortments coming, and in some of the future Lane Mates (short card) cases we may see the return of some of the Cars from the first movie.
I'll try to edit this later to include photos of some of the newer Cars... for now, I wanted to let you know what I know... There have been differences between US and international case contents in the past, and certain cases were released in the US but not the international market or on the international market but not in the US... but keep in mind, case assortments and distribution are tentative and subject to change.
P.S. - I wanted to add some photos that I cropped from the Kmart fold out poster, but the Photobucket site appears to be down (it's now back up)... and I'll add more information when I find out more.
