At this point, nobody not even Hasbro knew that the Classics line would continue. They changed their mind shortly afterwards but the official stance at the time was that Classics were over, finished.

Yeah some crazies bought their seekers at US$300 a pop but there is no point in crying over spilled milk and we now have enough experience to judge on the likelyhood of Hasbro recreating an exclusive character for the mass market.
