TMNT VHS versions missing episodes and parts of episodes

Hey people. Just wanted to post this and get some feedback. I've been picking up the VHS versions of the new show since they started coming out a few years ago, mainly because I didn't get around to buying a DVD player until awhile after that. Anyway, I've continued buying the VHS versions mainly for collecting purposes. However, I've noticed several problems with the VHS tapes (besides the ridiculous decision to release the episodes EXTREMELY out of order). Anyway, on my Secret Origins tape, a large portion of "Secret Origins, Part 2" is missing. The part where Shredder (in his Utrom form) steals the robotic suit from another Utrom and where he and the Foot they attack the Turtles and injure Mikey is completely missing. Also, on my "The Ultimate Ninja" tape, then entire episode of "The Golden Puck" is not on the tape.

Obviously these are production mistakes, and seeing as how the majority of people probably buy the DVDs its not widely known, but I still wanted to see if any other fans have encountered this problem, whether these specific ones or others. I really love this show and am saddened to see that 4kids is being so lax about the way the DVDs and VHS tapes are being handled (especially how they keep releasing episodes totally out of order).

In the meantime, I'll just wait for complete seasons of the show to be released so I can watch them in the order they were intended to be seen and not have to worry about switching back and forth between tapes/DVDs.
