New Garbage Pail Kids Binders Incoming?
Thanks to GPK collectors GGG and Keith Liddell they uncovered some interesting information on the website of one of the new artists for the GPK 30th set. Miran Kim who created the Trekkie Travis/Loony Leonard card for the 30th set also has another GPK painting on their site, http://mirankimart.blogspot.co.uk. There is a painting for an unreleased GPK, “Marie Baguette”. In the caption it says, “This is a sticker for Garbage Pail Kids 30th anniversary set and will be available at “Topps.com only”, there is A and B versions each sold with the two different versions of the “GPK 30th binder”. Release date is coming soon.” So does this mean we have new GPK binders incoming at topps.com?
The website also mentioned under the Trekkie Travis card that there is a foil version available in special Wal-Mart packs of the 30th Garbage Pail Kids set. Has anyone spotted anything in Wal-Mart?
Topps Offering Limited 5 X 7 Character Sets at SDCC
San Diego Comic Con opened to the public today, and there is a special Garbage Pail Kids offering. Topps previously released info about this set prior to the con, but the release was gauge and confusing. It would appear Topps is offering 5 different characters that each come in 10 card Foreign Legion sets. The characters offered are Adam Bomb, Ash Can Andy, Potty Scotty, Nasty Nick, and New Wave Dave. For $20 per character you will get 10 cards of that character is a different foreign language. So the complete 50 card set will set you back $100. The cards measure 5 X 7, are limited to 400 of each character, and can be found at the Atomic Toybox booth on the show floor. Can anyone hook a brother up?
Jumbo Pack Retail Odds for GPK 30th Set
Thanks to GPK collector Joey Robergelund who was the first to post a image of the Jumbo pack odds. You’ll find these packs in your local Target. Quite a bit of difference on the odds. You’ll notice the odds are 1/2 on everything compared to all the other packs. Since these Jumbo packs contain 21 cards, I believe Topps is considering them as 2 regular packs. Therefore, the odds are in half. You end up spending the same for the same odds basically. You will also see the Retail “bonus” cards are expanded this year. In each Jumbo pack comes a reprint from the 1986 Giant Series 2, a total of 15 cards. In the Blaster boxes the “bonus” card is a reprint from the 1986 Poster Set, a total of 18 cards.

Collector’s Pack Odds for GPK 30th Set
Chad via eBay (kuhawk913) was nice enough to share the odds from the new Collector’s boxes for the 30th Anniversary Garbage Pail Kids set. Some things of note; The odds for the Parallels (Silver, Red, Pink, Sepia, and Character Back) are all twice as high as what’s on the sell sheet. Despite that Chad said the Red’s and Character Backs did fall one per pack, while the Silver, Pink, and Sepia’s also fell one per box. Also the Artist Relic set is larger than what was mentioned on the sell sheet as Chad pulled 5 different from his two cases.

Funko Garbage Pail Kids figures have been spotted both in Hot Tropic stores and online. These long awaited figures come in two different styles. The Mystery Minis come 1 to a box, and 12 in an inner case. There are no mention of rare parallels so a case of 12 should net you a set.
Funko is also releasing a giant size Adam Bomb figure. The figures measures 10″. Pre-orders from various companies should be shipping next week. Keep your eyes out in stores for these new figures.
