• Sets Designed by Jens Nygaard Knudsen [Unofficial]

    Featured BrickList Compiled by Laz. Updated 17 December 2016. Contains 25 sets.
    A VERY partial list of sets designed by Jens Nygaard Knudsen, the creator of Classic Space (and the minifig!). The data come mainly from an interview with him and Niels Milan Pedersen on BrickJournal #6, by Mark Stafford, with some details coming from an interview with Daniel August Krenz e Niels Milan Pedersen on BrickJournal #8, by Megan Rothrock. In addition to the sets in this list (which includes the first complete wave of Space sets) he also designed many (most?) of the Space sets until M-Tron and many Basic and Town sets (before the minifig).

    20 out of 20 people thought this BrickList was helpful.
