Gold brick

## Rebuilding

When your LEGO Tower has reached a certain height, you will see a message stating that you can rebuild it. This allows you to get a gold brick, as well as a piece required for the Mr Gold character.

The number of floors required for a rebuild is usually 50 floors, but following a recent update some players may see lower floor requirements for their first couple of rebuilds. The number of floors required for a rebuild depends on your tower height.

It is not necessary to complete construction on all your floors before rebuilding. Any number of floors can be left empty.

### What to consider doing before rebuilding

When you rebuild, you will lose all the minifigures in your tower. Consider doing one of the following, keeping in mind that for non-Tower Club members, sending minifigures costs 10 Bux per minifigure. If any of your minifigures have been converted to characters, you must change their pieces before sending them.

* Send them to a second account and sending it back as needed
* Send them to a friend and get them to send it back
* Send them to friends who are requesting them. Make sure you change the minifigures' pieces before sending, so you do not lose them.
* Send them to friends who are not requesting those workers. Make sure you change the minifigures' pieces before sending, so you do not lose them.

You may also want to take this opportunity to farm Bux. See Farming Bux for details.

Alternatively, you may wish to just leave your workers so that you can see them when you view your past towers.

### What happens when you rebuild?

You get a new gold brick and start over on a fresh tower with just the Lobby floor and a starting capital of 17,500 coins.

* All the floors you have built (including capacity upgrades)
* All your coins
* All the minifigures in your tower
* All your Bux
* All pieces in your inventory, as well as all the pieces worn by minifigures in your tower at the time of the rebuild
* All unlocked vehicles
* All unlocked customizations
* Your upgraded elevator speed
* The upgrade levels of your characters
* Everything in your mailbox
* Your line of Friends waiting to ride your elevator
* All your previously earned gold bricks (Every rebuild will increase your gold bricks by one)

### Is it recommended to rebuild?

Yes! This being said, it is a personal choice. The following are some of the considerations for a tall tower versus a rebuilt tower.

#### Tall Tower Considerations

* Unable to collect additional pieces required for Mr Gold.
* Higher construction costs and times. This means the gameplay becomes a lot slower.
* Missions are more difficult to complete and the rewards do not increase anymore above 50 floors.
* Your device may become less stable, as older devices may not be able to handle tall towers.
* You may lose friends, as their devices may not be able to handle tall towers. Also, the amount of coins they receive when visiting you is capped at 50 floors.

#### Rebuilt Tower Considerations

You do lose your coins, floors and workers when you rebuild. To mitigate losing your:

* coins, you receive an increased number of coins with each rebuild. This is because the number of coins you receive when the elevator lands on a floor increases based on the number of gold bricks you have. Also, each time the elevator lands on a business floor awaiting delivery, the delivery time is reduced by (GoldBricks + 1) minutes.
* floors, the construction time is reduced with each rebuild. This is because, each time a minifigure lands on a floor under construction, the construction time is reduced by (GoldBricks + 1) minutes.
* workers, you can send them to a friend and get them to send them back. Alternatively, join a community and request for dream workers as you need them.

Also, the number of Bux available for sale in the Lost & Found will increase slower, as it increases based on the number of floors you have.

## Gold bricks

**Gold bricks** are used to improve your floors in LEGO Tower. You earn a gold brick by rebuilding your tower that is at least 50 floors tall.

You can see the number of **unused/total** gold bricks you have in the top left corner of the screen below the coins and Bux.

When a floor is upgraded to gold, the brick color will change to gold to indicate this, but it can be changed back to a different color to make the floor fit into your color scheme better. You cannot change the brick color of non-gold floors to gold.

### Gold brick perks

Each gold brick allows you to upgrade one residential or business floor.

Additionally, regardless of whether the gold bricks are used, each gold brick:

* increases the amount of coins you get for elevator rides
* reduces floor construction times by (GoldBricks + 1) minutes for each minifigure sent to that floor
* reduces delivery times by (GoldBricks + 1) minutes for each minifigure sent to that floor.

#### Gold business floors

Using a gold brick on a business floor will make restocking instant and upgrade its capacity to 100x, which is 4 times higher than the maximum of 25x that can be achieved using Bux. This makes gold business floors good targets for Big Spender or Deliveryman VIPs.

#### Gold residential floors

Minifigures who once lived in a gold residential floor have a base rent of 900 coins. In addition, minifigures currently living in a gold residential floor get a rent multiplier of x 3.

Place your highest level characters in gold residential floors and their dream jobs to maximize rent.

Send movers to gold residential floors before sending the residents to a friend or storage tower. This way you can convert their base rent to 900 and make room for new minifigures.

### What to do with your first (second, third) gold brick

2. Only stock the third item.
3. Send the Big Spender there.
 Two
2. Stock all items in that shop.
3. Send the Deliveryman there
 Three and subsequent
2. Convert the residents to characters.
With five non-characters (paying 900 base rent each and working in dream jobs) and no Tower Club, you will get a 900 x 9 x 5 = 40,500.
The rent above is doubled with Tower Club membership.
The above is significantly more than the rent received without a gold apartment. e.g., five level one characters with dream jobs and no Tower Club would be 1,000 x 3 x 5 = 15,000

### Applying gold bricks

To apply a gold brick to a floor:

1. Select the floor
2. Press the settings icon on the top right corner

If you delete a floor that has a gold brick applied to it you will get the gold brick back. You can then use it on another floor.

See Deleting Floors for details.
