Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 5 (Topps, 2006)
Both the hobby and retail boxes hold 36 packs of 6 stickers, the only difference in composition
being a display poster in the hobby box. It looks like Topps has stopped trying to cater to
both types of markets, for All-new GPK and Wackies, and trusts that the different "bonus cards"
provide enough incentive to get people to buy multiple types of packages.

Retail "bonus boxes" contain 8 packs and one bonus card (B10 or B11). Retail "blister boxes"
contain 20 blister packs, each containing 4 regular packs and one bonus card (B12, B13, or B14).

One regular retail box of 36 packs:
-- 2 complete sets of 80 (1a-40a and 1b-40b)
-- (You'd expect to average 2.40 with perfect collation.)
-- 18 alphabet stickers (1:2 packs), including a complete set of 15.
-- 6 magnets (1:6 packs) out of 9 total.

One box of 20 blister packs (80 total regular packs):
-- 4 complete sets of 80, missing 4 for fifth set
-- (You'd expect to average 5.35 with perfect collation.)
-- 40 alphabet stickers, including 2 complete sets of 15.
-- 13 magnets, including 1 complete set
-- 40 bonus cards, including 6 complete sets of B12-B13-B14.

I didn't notice any variation cards. Card 32b is missing the copyright notice, but it's the
same on all copies.
