Toei keeps posting episodes to promote toys

So Toei just posted an episode of DaiRanger on their youtube to promote a Byakko Shinken toy that's coming out. The thumbnail looked pretty sweet. But...
A) I can't watch the video since I live in America
B) I'd much rather have a 5 minute promo to showoff the toy
C) You're posting a video to capitalize on nostalgia to get consumers to buy your toy. Right, I get that. But why would I watch a random episode of your show (episode 44 in this case) on crappy youtube?
I dunno, I just worry that Toei is going to keep this trend up, instead of doing a cool video to show the toy. I like subbing those things. Like seeing Han Megumi be a normal person while talking about that mallet toy for Ninninger was pretty cool. Or bringing Tendou or Gatack's actors for the CSM belts. Those were cool videos too. The actors really put something into the promo to make it entertaining.
Sorry, but just dragging an episode out of the archive seems lazy.
