Playmates and TMNT 2K3

Does anyone have an episode list of what toy related stuff appear and didn't appear in the show?

I realize that like the old show, Playmates saw fit to squeeze in their products into the show, though in the new show the products actually fit the show somewhat.

From season 1, I remember the Turtles runnin around in the Sewer Slider and the Battle Shell, as well as using the Shell Cell. Raph had his Shell Cycle, and the Foot used the Razor Jets in the Return to New York story. Though the TMNT didn't use their lame-ass 'Extreme Sports' outfits, I did notice that 'Darkness at the edge of Town' featured Raph with the in-line skates, Mikey with the skateboard, Don with the bike and Leo with the scooter, like the toyline.The episodes with Rennet gave the TMNT a reason to use their 'Paleo Patrol' and 'Ninja Knights' outfits, as did the whole Turtles in Space eps let the turtles use their 'Space Hoppin' gear. And I noticed in 'Insane in the Membrane' ep, it started with the TMNT using their 'Monster Trapper' gear to catch some of Bishop's monsters.

But I gotta wonder. In the new show, did they ever release those jetski-type vehicles that Zog was smashing apart in 'Rogue in the House'? And did they ever make a toy of that 'Tortuga Bros.' Moving Van version of the Battle Shell?

Anyone notice that in the later eps (particularly the CBS eps and beyond) the old cartoon stopped randomly throwing in all the new vehicles (I mean Pizza by the Shred crammed in the Neutrino's Starcruiser, the Retrocatapult, the Double-Barrelled Plunger Gun, the Sewer Tubes, the Cheapskates AND the Footskis all in one episode, and other episodes in season 4 had the TMNT use the Turtlecycle and other machines without ever explaining where or when Don made it)? I mean, they kept crammin in the newer toy characters like Mondo Gecko, Slash, Mona Lisa, Groundchuck and Dirtbag to name a few, but why did they stop adding the new vehciles and only stuck with the Turtle Van? And why did they never release figures of Dregg and other Red Sky episodes? It seemed Playmates fell asleep during Red Sky and didn't make more figures until New Muation hit.
