Ey! I'm red walkin' heah!
It was my dream as a kid to collect every Exo-Force set, and I got really close; only fell 3 short by the time my dark age hit. When I got back into the hobby, one of the first things I did was get those 3 off ebay ( 7713-1 , 7721-1 & 8115-1 ). However while looking into that, I discovered these polybag sets existed, but convinced myself I could do without them.
The text at the top of the bag means "special forces", but when I put it into Google translate it says it means "special needs". XD
Red Walker walked so 75201 could... also walk.

I tried to get two sets from each set for a while. Some time later, figured I could do with one. Lately I push my self to choose only the sets I really really want, because there is no end to the themes you may want to collect when it come sto Lego.
Obviously, that mech’s name is Johnny.

I’m getting such deja vu; I’m sure some version of this set popped up before and someone made that exact joke, I remember laughing at it then too

Wasn't even aware Exo-Force had polybags. But, of course!
The pilot is in constant pain.

Yes. If you're the hero, you have the power. Power brings responsibility. Responsibility brings pain.
Exo-Force mechs walked (painfully) so Ninjago and Marvel mechs could run
I'm quite impressed with this one, considering it's a polybag-sized mech from a mech theme back when mechs with movable legs were just becoming possible at a larger scale. The smaller-scale ones were still discovering how they can be designed. It looks sensible for the theme's universe where vehicles tend to be mech-shaped for mobility. It even has a little windscreen to protect the pilot from rhe front.

I never thought I would find a sentence(or two), that sounded like Yoda, Uncle Ben, and He-Man all at once, but here we are
