Yes there are LEGO Ambassadors, I am one. We are under NDA so we are very
limited in what we can say without permission. If we recieve permission to
release information we do so immediately. I honestly can't say what the
official status of the 9V train line is because even we don't have all the
information.
The LEGO Ambassadors have made strides in breaking down some walls within LEGO
but others as still hard to penetrate. We are making progress and we and LEGO
know about the communities frustration over this issue. As desicions are made
which we are made aware of we will release that information as our NDA allows.
Trust for now that we are discussing this with LEGO and we are trying to get all
the information we can about the status of 9V trains.
