The Bikini Bottom Express

About The Bikini Bottom Express

The Bikini Bottom Express (3830-1) is a LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants set released in 2008, currently averaging $58.80 used on BrickLink. It comes with 3 minifigures worth a combined $21.07. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 83 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 36% of the set's value ($21.07 out of $58.80). The remaining value is in the parts and the set as a complete package. Selling complete will likely net more than parting out unless you have specific demand for the individual figures.

Seller notes

• Sealed copies sell for $200.00 vs $58.80 used — a 240% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
• This is a vintage set (2008). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
