In addition to these, a series of Gift Sets (numbered G-#) was sold by Lesney, each comprising models from the die-cast ranges (sometimes from different ranges within a single set).  The sets were updated/changed regularly for various reasons, but mainly to ensure that the models contained therein were current.  Set numbers were often reallocated in the same fashion as for "normal" series.  Some sets included model variations officially released only in the sets (generally, these were variant colours), while others contained additional, non-die-cast items not available without the set.
