Is there a group that
is underrepresented?

Based on this brief discussion, I
don’t get a warm fuzzy feeling that 9v train fans are being represented.
While it is mentioned that the Save 9v Trains campaign has been around for
awhile, Nelson’s reaction seemed (to me) to be more of a “Oh, yeah! We
forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder”, instead of a “No worries, we’re
actively working on it.”
One of the things that I’ve been hoping for from either the Ambassadors or
from some other official Lego rep, is some sort of concrete announcement
about the fate of 9v. Either a definite, yes, it’s being kept in production,
or a definite, no, stock up while you can.
At some point last year it was mentioned that Lego would make a decision late
in the year based on sales. We’ve seen some cool product releases since then
that can be interpreted as 9v sets, which keeps up the hope, but still
nothing specific. Motors are still available, and track is still available,
but for how long? Is Lego still trying to make a decision regarding 9v, or
have they come to a conclusion?
Is it possible for the Ambassador group to get us a definitive yeah or nay
answer? I’m not looking for inside information about upcoming releases, or
salary information about employees, just a simple answer to a simple
question.
Will Lego continue to produce 9v train products for the foreseeable future?

Elroy,
I agree that Train fans currently are not as well represented as they should be.
I would encourage leaders in the Train community to apply for the next cycle of
LEGO Ambassadors. It is quite possible that few train builders applied last
cycle.
This being said, we will do our best to represent train fans. Most of my lug
(Gateway Lug in Saint Louis) is made up of concerned 9 Volt train fans. I
regularly pass along their concerns to LEGO. 9 Volt is a great system which is
far superior to battery trains and should not be discontinued.
The Ambassadors are currently discussing 9 Volt trains and have asked LEGO for
an update.
