Unfortunately, the 5 most useful Red Bricks are not available to unlock using this method. You will need to find these by completing the required Fetch Quests. These are Invincibility, Studs x4, x6, x8 and x10. These cost 500,000, 1 million, 4 million, 8 million and 10 million studs respectively.
Also note that even if you use these cheats, you must still complete the Fetch Quests in order to obtain 100%. The Red Brick, even if already unlocked, will become available to buy when you have completed the appropriate quest, but it does not need to be purchased.
There are 20 Red Bricks to find and purchase, and they are unlocked to buy after completing the 20 Fetch Quests related to forging specific Mithril items. You may buy them all, or use cheats to unlock them, either way, the achievement will still unlock.
