Bonus Features:

-All 100 episodes (207 segments) on 14 discs

-All shorts (Unconfirmed)

-All bonus features from the first 5 season DVDs (Unconfirmed)

-Pilot Episode "Help Wanted" in regular and 7 Seas Edition

-Documentary "SquareRoots" in original, uncut widescreen format

-Animation Art Galleries

-Music Videos

-More to come!

It is unknown the status about the features labeled "unconfirmed", and what the disc break-up is going to be. My guess is if it includes way more bonus features than listed, then it would be discs 1-10 are the episodes (half a season per disc) and 11-14 are bonus discs, but only time will tell.

There will be a setup menu on each disc with audio and visual options, and presumably captions, and the packaging will be a 3D-lenticular slipcase housed in plexiglass. It sounds like a deal to me, and I'll be picking this up despite the fact I already own seasons 1-5 on DVD.

We own all of the original seasons (1-5) currently offered of SpongeBob SquarePants. We love them but they take up a lot of space and we constantly have the discs rotating throughout our house. We definitely will keep the originals but this set is just a little wider than the box of the 1st season set. Now when our son asks for a certain episode (which he does often) we can actually find it!

I just unpacked this item so I am not sure if discs 1-13 contain bonus features (other than commentaries). There are no extras listed and I haven't found any other extras on the discs with episodes. Also, the menus aren't animated as elaborately as the originals. I prefer the original menus on the previous separate season releases; they are animated (moving pictures) as opposed to one static picture and it is easier to select the specific show that you want on the older version menus. Although, the new menus seem to load more quickly.

* I added some screenshots of the menu to the "customer images" section of this item's listing.

Disc 14 contains the following special features:

Square Roots: The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants

"Help Wanted": The Seven Seas Edition

Life Lessons from Bikini Bottom

Kick-Wham-Pow-Bob Music Video

My bottom line opinion: If you are a huge fan, get the original set AND this set -now at amazon.com for $65. If you don't care about the space or price and want just one set get the originals. If you have kids and a budget or you like to just "play all" of the episodes I would recommend this one because it takes up so little space and the price is really good right now a lot cheaper than if you bought all of the seasons separately.

Best Deals for SpongeBob SquarePants: The First 100 Episodes

I already owned the first three seasons on DVD, but I bought this set for two reasons:

1. To save space

This set is just barely wider than either the first or second season boxsets, by about one thinpack DVD case at most. The third season is roughly half the width of either the first or second season boxsets. 'The First 100 Episodes' boxset takes up a little less than half the shelf space of Seasons 1-3 combined (and it also includes Seasons 4 and 5, but that's a moot point because they plain suck).

2. Because I'm a freak about keeping things in mint condition

This boxset at one point came in a plexiglass hardcase with nice bubble cutouts, and a lenticular 3D slipcover. I'm not sure if that was a limited first print run, or maybe it was exclusive to certain retailers, but the boxset I got from Amazon did NOT have a hardcase or a lenticular splicover. That was half the reason I ordered this set, I really wanted the hardcase because I'm obsessive-compulsive about keeping all my media in absolutely pristine condition. I handle my DVDs like they're glass babies, and I hate it when boxsets come in cardboard cases (especially digipacks, those are the worst). By the way, the cardboard shell on my set did arrive all wrinkled/creased along the bottom, with the corners all squished in. I know there are people out there like me that feel my pain on that one... so just be warned, if you were expecting a hardcase, there's a good chance that you won't get one if you order from Amazon. Go to a store and try to find one on the shelves.

Edit: I went to Best Buy to see if I could find a boxset with a plexi case and there weren't any. They had about four sets that were identical to the one I received from Amazon. Two Wal-Marts and a Target didn't even have it in stock.

OMG over 38 hours of Spongebob in one neat shelf friendly set! How could any Spongebob fan not afford to buy this? You get 100 (more like 200) episodes of Spongebob essentially seasons 1-5 altogether.

The quality is amazing and the packaging is honestly some of the best I have ever seen. I would say buy it if you don't already own seasons 1-5 (I already owned season 1 + some Spongebob dvds, but after owning this will give them to my younger cousins). This set is definitely worth owning if you can find it for under $70 and can be a great thing to show your kids someday.
