I was disappointed to see there wasn't a Spongebob LEGO guy in the rock shop. I figured with the MTV/Nick tie-ins like Spongebob DLC, coupled with LEGO's Spongebob collection that the ol yellow fella would be a shoe-in!
Maybe a patch to add some additional LEGO characters could be in our future?

I was hopeing for Star Wars characters.
A Cantina band would have been really nifty.All I am offering is the truth... nothing more...

Well, this is the first game to have actual licensed characters in it. Maybe they didn't want to overdo it in case it was poorly received.

And to Doc's point, it's a shame they couldn't secure the LucusArts licensing.

Also, on top of all the licensing costs to get the songs, licensing Star Wars and Batman characters would have been too expensive.

I think a Spongebob avatar would've been overdoing it. Considerably. While this game pushes the boundaries a bit, there was still some level of credibility they were trying to maintain.
Adding Spongebob would NOT help that./rant

I never expected to see the Star Wars, Indy, or Batman characters in this one. Which is a shame because LEGO Chewie on drums would have been just far too awesome
I'm just glad that not only do we have LEGO versions of the Rock Band avatars, but a few of the setlist bands too.

I hate Spongebob. Can't stand the show and certainly don't own any of the DLC, but if they released a Spongebob avatar, I'd definitely throw him into the band rotation.
