Great news!
Bandai has finally announced the next upcoming line of HG Clear Color kits which consists of HG 00 Qan[T], Zabanya, Harute, Raphael. All the kits will be launched in January and the price is 100 Yen above the standard retail price.
Here’s some info:
Kit Name: HG 00 Qan[T] Clear Colour Version
Price: 1700 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
100 % identical to the Clear Colour Version of 00 Qan[T] launched in conjunction with the Gundam 00 Movie: Awakening the Trailblazer. Below are some extra shots.
Clear white, black, red and green are identical to the current clear colour line up. The clear blue is one slightly lighter colour than the clear blue on HG 00 or Exia.
A stand will come included but, no confirmation on whether it is the above illustration’s normal clear or HG 00 Qan[T]‘s sparkle clear green stand.

Kit Name: HG Zabanya Clear Colour Version
Kit Price: 1900 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
The colour of the clear parts are identical to HG Cherudim Clear Colour. Colours include, red, white, black, green and yellow.

Kit Name: HG Harute Clear Colour Version
Kit Price: 1900 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
Colour of clear parts are exactly identical to HG Arios Clear Colour Version consisting of clear orange, black, white, red and yellow.
Like Arios, the Mobile Armour Mode looks more menacing in clear colors, well at least that’s what I think.

Kit Name: HG Raphael Clear Colour Version
Kit Price: 2100 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
First HG Clear Colour kit to feature clear purple. ^^

Alternatively, there is an option to get all the kits bundled together.
Kit Price: 7600 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
Considering the price is the total of all 4 kits, it should be safe to say that there is no additional goodies. 
But, who knows? Perhaps a hybrid box art like the previous Clear Colour bundle releases? only time will tell.
So far, this is a Bandai Hobby Online Shop exclusive thus, there is no confirmed news of whether or not the kits will be sold in hobby stores.
My Take:
For a clear colour kit fan like me, this is like a dream come true. Not one, not two but four kits. While I haven’t mentioned this before, the new generation HGs from the 00 Series are very good at hiding seam lines and nip marks therefore making it look even better in clear colour. So far, 00 Qan[T], Zabanya and Harute catch my eye though, realistically I may only get 00 Qan[T] first. Raphael is little difficult, majority of it’s clear parts are in white and black which don’t really look all impressive in clear colour. Dunno, maybe the clear purple will have to do its work. XD
Until then, (with determination) Clear Colour Kits here I come!
