Not sure if this helps but...
I can only tell you what I remember, nothing official but the figures were some of the first product released and that was in April along with a couple of the smaller vehicles. For example; I remember in '86 the whole years figure wave released at once a few weeks before Easter with the Devilfish and Cobra Hydro Sled being the only new vehicles at the time. That years wave of figures would be steadily released throughout the year with new stuff early and the previous years figures added to the the mix usually sometime during the summer or fall. It was the vehicles that got the slow release as the year went by.
If you lucked out and got one of first vehicles released in that wave you might get the new years catalog showing what was going to get released but a lot of the time you would get the previous years, kind of a gamble when you were a kid. The vehicles did seem to get released with the toys, in fact, if you look at the dates on the comics and what vehicles were featured in it you can get a good idea of what time of the year the vehicles were released. If you look at this link

you can see the Pogo Bubble and the S.L.A.M. on the cover, those were released the same month and a lot of the time they would use the same commercial animation to promote both the toy and comic.
