Release Date: Early 2005

The All-New Series 1 GPK translated to "Kaatiksen Kakarat" were published in the early part of 2005 by Topps Europe Ltd. (Merlin Stickers), and distributed throughout Finland by Rautakirja Oy Lehtipiste. A total of 1 print run test was released during a resurrection of the 80's nostalgic GPK's in the U.S. and in the U.K. with all-new releases. The Finnish GPK series is a replication of the U.K. All-New Series 1 GPK set comprised of 37 images from the ANS1 U.S. set and 11 images from the ANS2 U.S. set without any "a" or "b" twins. The set also contains 10 foil cards from the New 1st U.S. series. Each paper pack contains 4 stickers, 1 foil card, and a slip of paper for a binder offer. The set contains the standard size of 2.5 x 3.5 as in the U.S. release. The Finland and U.K. foil cards are much brighter and printed on heavier stock than the U.S. foils.

Speculated GREEN BOX - 1 Variation (No Box Code)

GREEN WRAPPER - 1 Variation (No Wrapper Code - Same As U.K.)

GREEN BINDER, 2 Packs, and Bonus Foil Card Offer Slip - Found In Pack

FUN FACTS and TIDBITS

1. The "PATTY Putty - Muggin' MEGAN" on the front side and "Double HEATHER - Schizo FRAN" on the back side Bonus Foil Card can be acquired through the Binder Offer slip found in every pack. This B1 numbered, with no name card are two characters not used in the U.K. release and is a special card to the Finland and Sweden sets.

2. The Series Contains Three "Scratch 'n Stink" Chase Cards From The New 2nd U.S. Series set placed within the set as regular cards without the scratch and stink affect. All three have slightly different variations from the original cards. The same occurs in the All New Series 1 U.K. release as well.

S2a/b "Cheese LUIS/Eruptin' ERIC" - 32 "JALO Aromi"
* Red GPK Banner changed to a Blue GPK Banner *
* Gas Cloud placed in back of the changed GPK Banner *
* Yellow Name Bar changed to a Light-Green Name Bar *

S3a/b "Moldy MOLLY/Stinkin' STEPHANIE" - 35 "SILJA Silsa"
* Red GPK Banner changed to a Blue GPK Banner *
* Picture shifted slightly upwards - head now behind GPK Banner *
* Light-Blue Name Bar changed to a Dark-Blue Name Bar *

S5a/b "Topping TOM/DOM E. Nose" - 37 "TUMPPI Tuplajuusto"
* Chef's Hat placed in back of the GPK Banner *
* Picture shifted slightly to the right and upwards *

3. As with the U.K. release, The Set Has the 'PEEL HERE' Arrow Pointing To The Edge Of The Card where the entire face of the card is the sticker where as in the U.S. sets the cards are die-cut stickers.

4. The Set Contains A 3-Part Checklist: 1/3 containing the names for the foil cards; 2/3 containing the names for the first 24 cards (numbering 1-24); and 3/3 containing the names for the last 24 cards (numbering 25-48). Checklist card 1/3:

5. The Puzzle Borders Have No White Outline like the U.S. puzzles from the New 1st U.S. release, the 5 puzzles have a solid coloured border. The foil backs contain the "Completed Puzzle" pictures. Numerically, the first 9 cards of the series consist of the 1st puzzle, the next 9 cards are the 2nd puzzle and so on through card # 45 for the five puzzles, and the last three cards in the set contain the 3 different checklists.

6. The Finland Card #29 has the same name as the Swedish card #29; "HARRY Potta".
