Remember the 80's...
For some reason, I remember that series 5 was a big deal in the 80's.  Was that the series where the cards were significantly larger?  I don't remember, but I do remember that series 5 was a bit more special than the others.  This is a throwback to the nostalgic toys of the 80's.  I guess of Transformers, GI Joes and even Cabbage Patch Kids can make appearances in the 00's, why can't the 'evil, dirty' cousin, Garbage Pail Kids?<br /><br />The Garbage Pail kids of the 80's though were HUGE.  They were a blatant parody of the immensely popular Cabbage Patch kids of the time.  Everyone wanted a Cabbage Patch Kid, and they all had the funny names and same style faces, etc.  Then came a movie and a TV show (that never aired)... but unfortunately due to the likeness of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids, a lawsuit also tagged along.  The series today features glossier cards, higher quality paper and a variety of other things that makes it an altogether more special operation.  Unless you're really reaching for a piece of nostalgia, however, I'd say there's nothing particularly impressive to see here.  :)
