THE GARBAGE GANG : AUSTRALIA




*







The Garbage Gang
Australia Series 2 set is almost visually identical to the U.S. Garbage Pail Kids version. The Australia and New Zealand versions, however, could be the most ideal Series 2 set printed and released because the set contains both U.S. print run puzzles in one set; this is true for the Norway [The] Garbage Gang Series 2 set released in 1991 as well. The A-name cards are the Messy TESSIE puzzle pieces and the B-name cards are the Live MIKE puzzle pieces. The boxes for the Australia and New Zealand releases are similar except for the price window (white circle) and the wrappers are different.
