Additional Notes
     The card and wrapper variation lists for each Australia and New Zealand The Garbage Gang and The Garbage Gang release can be downloaded in the section for each series or all together in the Downloads section.
 
     The Australia and New Zealand The Garbage Gang consisted of five different releases.  There were separate 1st Series releases for Australia and New Zealand.  The 2nd and 3rd Series had different packaging for Australia and New Zealand, but the cards were exactly the same.  The 4th Series was exactly the same for Australia and New Zealand.
 
     Some of the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids series were sent over to Australia and New Zealand as test releases.  The test releases were exactly the same as the Garbage Pail Kids series released in the United Kingdom.  The United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 6th Series seemed to be the most abundant test release in Australia and New Zealand.  There was not an Australia and New Zealand The Garbage Gang 5th Series, but it was possible to find the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 5th Series in Australia and New Zealand.  Based on some of the Australia and New Zealand The Garbage Gang acetate proof sets that The Topps Vault was auctioning, it appears that at least a few more series were available for Regina Ltd. to manufacture.
 
     Most likely, a full sheet of cards from the Australia and New Zealand The Garbage Gang consisted of twelve cards across and eleven cards down.  If the uncut sheets had that layout, there would be a total of 132 cards per uncut sheet.  For each of the Australia and New Zealand The Garbage Gang releases except for the New Zealand The Garbage Gang 1st Series, almost every card on the uncut sheet would be needed in order to make a complete variation set.
