Giant Series (United Kingdom)
Topps Ireland’s Giant Series release for the United Kingdom was the local 15-card version of the big sticker set, issued in late 1986 as a smaller, non die-cut pack of Garbage Pail Kids for the UK. It was released throughout Ireland and Great Britain, and UK cards were also distributed in Holland and parts of Scandinavia.
The cards themselves measure about 2 1/8 by 3 inches, and the packs held three stickers with gum, with the price marked on the box rather than on the wrapper.
The cards include BAZOOKA JERK and his Garbage, BONY JOANIE ... THIN LYNN ..., GARBAGE PAIL KIDS RULE!, GARBAGE PAILS ... FOUL BILL, and HAVE A NICE DAY ... GPK. The set also includes HOOKED ON GPKIDS, WHY FIGHT IT? COLLECT GPK, TAKE A GPK TO LUNCH!, GARBAGE PAIL NATIONAL PARK, GARBAGE PAIL CIRCUS!, HOW TO BE A GPK, IT TAKES GUTS TO BE A GPK, AND THE WINNER IS ... MISS GPK, BUSTED! GPK, and GARBAGE PAIL SCHOOL.
