Excell Marketing, the company that distributes and stocks a number of retail outlets, including Target, began offering a new Garbage Pail Kids Re-Pack product, called Trash Box. GPK Collector Brent Fisher was first to report finding these, but they have since been located around the country in Target stores, thanks to Brent for the picture! Excell will take leftover stock from previous releases and bundle them into a discounted package. The Trash Box contains 16 packs of Garbage Pail Kids for the suggested retail price of $9.99. Packs from BNS 3, both 2014 series, 2015 series 1, and both Chrome series have been found in the boxes. The packs are random and you might not get all the brands mentioned in one box. The company has been offering sports card, Pokemon, and Wacky Packages re-packs for a while now, but this is their first GPK product.

2016 GPK Apple Pie Blister Pack Odds
Just like the 30th Anniversary release Topps has created 3 pack Blister packs for the new 2016 GPK Apple Pie set. Blisters have been found so far at both Wal-mart and Toys R Us stores. In addition to getting 3 retail packs you get 2 special Adam Bomb/Boom cards. There are 4 cards in the special subset each with two different backs. So overall, you’ll need to collect 8 cards to get them all. Thanks to Randy Bagget for correcting my error. There are only 4 cards in the set, two with orange backs and two with yellow backs. Thanks to GPK collecter Adam for the pictures! Here are the odds:

2016 GPK Apple Pie Retail Sell Sheet
A few months ago we posted the sell sheet for Hobby/Collector boxes for the 2016 Garbage Pail Kids As American as Apple Pie In Your Face set. Here is the sell sheet for the Retail version of the product. (PDF version can be found here.) Most of the info is not new here, but good to see the sell sheet info from Topps. Two other cards types not mentioned on this sell sheet. 1) Pee Parallels that are found in gravity feed boxes from Target. 2) There will once again be 2 pack Blisters that come with one of two special Adam Bomb cards, similar to the Blisters from the 30th set that contained the special foil cards. 2016 GPK Apple Pie officially releases this coming Wednesday, 1/20/16.

2016 GPK Set to Feature Past Spinoffs in Blaster Boxes
As Topps is set to release 2016 Garbage Pail Kids American as Apple Pie In Your Face set next week, new details are coming out on some surprises they have in store. As we mentioned in an article last week, Retail Blaster boxes will include 3 Gross Bears cards per box. GPKworld.com broke news on their Facebook page that those Gross Bears cards will be based off the 1985 Topps Gross Bears Button set. GPK World also mentioned those cards will be found in Walmart Blaster boxes. GPK World also reported that Target Blaster boxes will contain 3 Bathroom Buddies cards, based off a 90’s GPK spinoff set.
Finally GPK World offered up a sneak peak at the wrapper art for this set.
The next release is set for Jan. 20, however retail will often hit stores early. Keep your eyes open this weekend for these packs.
Loaded and Panoramic Sketch Cards to be in Retail
Online retailer Steel City Collectibles has begun online pre-orders for Blaster boxes of the upcoming 2016 GPK American as Apple Pie In Your Face set. New information posted on their website gives some insight into what can be found in both Blaster boxes and Jumbo Retail packs.
Perhaps the biggest news is Loaded Sketch cards will move to Blaster boxes. In the previous GPK release those sketches were found in Collector boxes. Panoramic Sketch cards, which in the previous release were in Blasters, will now be in Jumbo retail packs.
“Bonus” cards also look to be a thing of the past, as in the previous release. Blaster boxes will contain 3 Gross Bears stickers while Jumbo packs will contain 1 Patriotic GPK reprint per pack. It also appears Green parallels will return to retail packs once again. No word yet on Target or Walmart exclusive parallels.
The next set is due to hit store shelves on Jan. 20th. See below for more info on retail offerings.
Configuration:
- 16 boxes per case.
- 4 packs and 3 Gross Bears Stickers per box.
