Bull Moose’s Lego ‘fire walk’ becomes social media sensation The South Portland store's promotion takes off with a Facebook post by George Takei of 'Star Trek' fame. SOUTH PORTLAND — It may be the only photo on the Internet that can make your feet hurt. Or, as George Takei of “Star Trek” fame wrote in a Facebook post Thursday, “The LEGO Firewalk is more treacherous than any fire …” And with that, a photo from Bull Moose’s South Portland store went viral, with 186,000 likes and 76,600 shares on Takei’s Facebook page alone. The photo shows a 12-foot-long carpet covered with sharp plastic Lego pieces. People who braved the treacherous path barefoot (no socks allowed) snatched the Lego movie at the store for about $10, half the regular price of about $20.
The “fire walk” lasted for only an hour Tuesday, the date of the DVD’s release. The Legos were cleaned up Tuesday night. “We thought it was a fun thing to do that would be popular locally,” said store manager Mick Pratt, who took the photo. “Did I think George Takei would repost a photo I’ve taken in my lifetime? No, I didn’t think that would be a thing.” Lifting a line from the movie, he said, “It’s true: Everything is awesome.” Pratt posted the photo on Bull Moose’s Tumblr blog, where it got shared almost 53,000 times before someone posted it to Imgur, where it got a shocking 1.2 million views. From there, the photo went to Reddit, where it got about 2,500 upvotes and hundreds of comments, including, “My love of Lego overcomes the pain Lego inflicts.” At some point on the viral trail, one of Takei’s fans sent him the photo, which he reposted. Pratt said the best part of his photo going viral is that one of the store’s employees, Katrina Vaughan, built the Lego cutouts of the characters Unikitty, Emmet and Benny that decorated the end of the walk.
“Her art is making it around the world,” Pratt said. When the promotion started at 5 p.m. Tuesday, a dozen people were already in line at the start of the fire walk, mostly small children whose parents had to sign waivers before their tiny, fleshy toes could press onto the notoriously prickly bricks. Sam Ellis, 24, of Portland walked the brick road for the discount. “Four kids went before me,” she said. “They were kind of nervous. Bull Moose staff handed out Lego-shaped chocolate candies, so they felt better after that.” On a scale of one to 10, Ellis ranked the Lego-induced pain at just a 2. “I would do it again for the sequel,” she said.

TT products have delivered adaptations of numerous big properties, all with the signature LEGO style and humour, but, when adapting a LEGO movie… the signature style is already abundant.
What can TT parody? What can they alter from the source material? Or is it not? The gameplay is the same as every other in the franchise, and if you've seen The LEGO Movie you'll know what to expect here as it follows its story beat for beat, with Emmet and Wildstyle progressing through stages based around each location from the film, smashing up the environment and building new creations to progress. Furthermore, the same familiar mechanics that are through every LEGO title are here. There's a hub area with links to each of the stages, and there are 15 stages to play through, each adapted from major locations and moments from the movie, and each filled with special blocks that require the abilities of specific characters to overcome - Emmet has his drill to break through cracked LEGO blocks, Wildstyle can high-jump, and Batman can use his signature grapple gun. These stages are also stuffed with plenty of collectibles to track down and characters to unlock, most of which require revisiting in Free Play mode after a level has been completed to be able to use any character and their specific special abilities.
Just like the movie, the cast of playable characters is rounded out by plenty of familiar characters from other franchises and historical events, and following TT's previous titles, there is a considerable cast of characters to unlock - 101 in total! The Justice League, Metal Beard, William Shakespeare, even Vitruvius and Lord Business. The problem with adapting the story directly into a game like this, is that it's balanced well for a 90-minute movie, but for a game it needs to last a good deal longer than that, and so it either needs some filler to pad out the story or it has to be stretched into lasting longer. Both methods have strengths and both have flaws. TT has gone with the padding and the flaws of this choice are pretty evident, with stages that feel over inflated and a story that really drags at points. There are still plenty of great levels and moments across, though. For example, Cloud Cuckoo land is faithfully recreated in its psychedelic goodness, including the ability to go on a Unikitty rampage.
Old West World is a particular highlight too, with armies of robotic enemies and fast-paced segments, and all of these stages can, of course, be taken on in the usual drop-in/drop-out, couch co-op. As with every LEGO game, there are some extra mechanics on top of the familiar ones. For example, each of the regular characters require instructions to build LEGO creations, whereas master builders get a new type of analogue flicking mini-game. Considering the LEGO Movie had such a great jump to the big screen, you'd expect that there would be a shared style between the game graphics and the movie cut-scenes. While LEGO Dimensions managed to deliver a seamless transition between FMVs from the movie and gameplay, this is noticeably separate. Similarly, while the voice actors do a great job, when the game uses audio snippets from the movie, it's very noticeable. 6GoodFilled with the series familiar and fun mechanics, The LEGO Movie Videogame is enjoyable for series fans, but ultimately doesn't live up to the fantastic games that have come before it, and once again goes to show that TT does its best work when left to craft original stories instead of adapting existing properties.
