Short summary

Review of Terminator (1984) construction toy by Best Lock Construction Toys, dedicated to the premiere of Terminator Genisys (2015).

This episode is a rare occurrence in the directing works by Nikolay Yeriomin, as it doesn't reference a recurring unseen character Askold Tutylopydirskiy in any shape or form. As the character is also some kind of a "lucky charm", it may have influenced the fact that episode had some slight distribution problems.
