It's kinda bizarre. Rather then a reboot they elected to bring the show back and start where the original left off (which as said, includes the Limburger cameo ep). It did indeed air over here but didn't really get any attention and stores are still trying to shift the unsold toys.
I think this might have been the fans fault. Apparently they're not the nicest of people and in communication with the staff they pushed strongly for a flat out continuation, which they got. An important lesson to learn from.
