LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants

'''LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants''' is a series of LEGO building sets based on the [[SpongeBob SquarePants (TV Show)|Nicktoon of the same name]]. The first three sets, The Krusty Krab, Adventures in Bikini Bottom, and Build-a-Bob were released in 2006. LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants was part of the same wave of LEGO sets as Avatar: the Last Airbender, because the first wave was not considering either themes to be complete themes, they were considered one theme titled Nickelodeon. The idea of combining them in a two part theme was for fans to choose which one was a better theme, and Spongebob Squarepants was chosen becuase of its popularity. Unlike most LEGO themes, this one includes a variety of interesting pieces, as the characters and sets are different from most of other themes. Also, many variations are seen, including the most famous: Squidward's head change from a standard minifigure head, to a special, more realistic head. After LEGO got the Disney franchise from Mega Blocks for 2010 and 2011, Mega Blocks announced they have a new deal with [[Nickelodeon]]. This may have been the cause of the SpongeBob theme  coming to an end in 2010. However, the LEGO theme was relaunched in 2011.
