New LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants Sets: A Big Bikini Bottom and a Tiny Friend!

The Big News: Two New SpongeBob LEGO Sets

LEGO (the company that makes those fun snap-together bricks) has announced two brand-new sets based on the classic cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants.

Here they are:

• A big Bikini Bottom set for $219.99
• A small SpongeBob SquarePants Figure set for $12.99

Important: Both sets will be released on September 1 and you can preorder them right now from the LEGO Store (the place where you buy LEGO).

LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom (The Big Set)

This set is called LEGO Icons – SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom. "Icons" is just a name LEGO uses for detailed display sets.

It is the larger of the two by far. Let’s look at what’s inside:

• Made of 1,794 pieces (that’s a lot of bricks!).
• Shows many places from the show:
  • SpongeBob and Squidward’s houses – each has multiple rooms inside.
  • Patrick’s rock – only one room, but with its own little details inside.
  • Jellyfish Fields – a scene where characters catch jellyfish.
• Comes with mini figurines (tiny LEGO versions of the characters) of all the main friends.
• Includes special items from famous episodes, like the boatmobile (a weird car-boat from the show).
• Has hidden Easter eggs (secret little surprises that fans love to find, which is common in LEGO sets).

LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants Figure (The Little Set)

This set is called LEGO BrickHeadz – SpongeBob SquarePants Figure.

What is BrickHeadz? It’s a LEGO line that makes blocky, square-headed versions of popular characters. So SpongeBob becomes a cute, chunky figure.

Details:

• Made of just 72 pieces – quick to build!
• Comes with a net accessory so your yellow buddy can go jellyfishing (catching jellyfish).
• Costs only $12.99, which is super cheap for LEGO these days.

How to Preorder (Easy Steps)

1. Go to the LEGO Store (you can visit the real store or its website).
