New LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants Sets: A Super Simple Guide

What’s Going On?

LEGO (the toy company that makes little plastic bricks) has just told everyone about two new building sets based on the funny cartoon show SpongeBob SquarePants. Think of these like boxes of blocks you can put together to make the show’s world.

Here are the two sets:

• A big one called Bikini Bottom that costs $219.99.
• A small one called SpongeBob SquarePants Figure that costs $12.99.

Both will be ready to bring home on September 1. Right now, you can preorder them (that means you pay early so the store saves one for you and sends it on release day) at the LEGO Store.

Important: Both sets are available for preorder now and will officially come out on September 1.

The Big Set: Bikini Bottom

This is the giant of the two. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand:

• It has 1,794 blocks – that’s a huge pile!
• It builds many places from the TV show:
  • SpongeBob’s house (with several rooms inside)
  • Squidward’s house (also with rooms inside)
  • Patrick’s rock (just one room, but still has fun details inside)
  • Jellyfish Fields (a outdoor scene where they catch jellyfish)
• It comes with tiny block versions of all the main characters (grown-ups call these minifigures).
• It has special tiny things from famous episodes, like the boatmobile (a boat that goes on land like a car).
• Just like many LEGO kits, it hides little surprise details (often called Easter eggs) for fans who look hard.

Important: The Bikini Bottom set is made of 1,794 pieces and shows many show locations with hidden surprises!

How to Preorder It (Easy Steps)

1. Go to the LEGO Store (online or in person).
2. Look for “LEGO Icons – SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom.”
3. Pay the $219.99 now to reserve it.
4. Wait until September 1 to get your box.

The Small Set: SpongeBob Figure

This little guy is part of LEGO’s BrickHeadz family. BrickHeadz are blocky, square-shaped toy figures of characters from movies, shows, and games.

• It has 72 pieces – much smaller than the big set.
• It builds a square-looking SpongeBob.
• It comes with a tiny net so your SpongeBob can pretend to catch jellyfish (this is called jellyfishing in the show).
• The price is only $12.99, which is about as cheap as LEGO gets these days.

More LEGO Toys Coming Soon

These SpongeBob sets are just a tiny part of what’s coming. On August 1, a giant pile of new LEGO sets will appear. Here are some examples:

• New LEGO Pokémon sets (based on the monster-catch cartoon)
• A neat Boba Fett set (a space character from Star Wars)
• An E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial figure (the kind alien from the old movie)
• The first Kpop Demon Hunters set (from a music story)
• A few Olivia Rodrigo sets (the pop singer)
• And lots more!

It’s a happy time to be a LEGO fan, whether you’re a child or a grown-up.
