WesternOutlaw Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Addressed to Lego Ambassadors, an official statement from Lego re. the future of the 9V System. The following was posted on ILTCO: Dear LEGO Ambassadors, We have read some comments on different forums where people express their concerns and ask questions about the future of the current 9v LEGO Train system. At the moment we can only share few details about this as we are still finalizing the plan for what we call the "LEGO Hobby Train" which will be based on the current 9v system. We will continue to sell the current 9v system including the train motor, metal tracks and the speed regulator through LEGO Shop@Home and LEGO Brand Retail only, from mid 2006. In early 2007 the decision will be made - based on sales performance of the 9v system during the fall of 2006 - if we will continue the 9v System with metal rails after 2007. We will release more information about the "LEGO Hobby Train" project in August 2006 at the latest. Hopefully this information will ease your concerns for now. Steve and Jan LEGO Community Development Team -- steve witt Community Relations Coordinator LEGO Community Team I'm wondering about the "Lego Hobby Train" project esp if the 9V system gets cancelled. Maybe there is at least hope for buildings and other structures as part of this program.
