Why haven't Thrust and Ramjet been Encore'd yet?

OK, I know there are still a TON of bots that could get reissued, but the majority of the mold for these two are already done. I havent seen them KO'd (correct me if I am wrong - like I even needed to state that) and Thrust was reissued a long time ago. I saw it around the same time as the Red (ahem - Road Rage) Tracks and Silver Silverstreak.

My ebay trigger finger is getting itchy wanting to buy these two, and I want to be patient to be able to get the reissue.

you know, i was wondering the same thing about Thrust a while back. Glad im not the only one curious about this. I guess only time will tell. Hes the only one of the seekers i care for, thus he would be the only Encore of the mold i would purchase.

All 6 seekers were reissued by takara & maybe all 6 got reissued by hasbro.

 

does encore reissues really matter when all 6 seekers got regular reissues?

 

Since both takara & Hasbro had high volume units of these 6 seekers reissues. their beyond easy & cheaply priced to find on the seondary on-line market.

The Thrust and Ramjet reissues were only released as convention exclusive figures in July 2001 (6000JPY for both of them). There's never been regular reissues of Thrust or Ramjet, so I think this is a bloody good question! Hasbro reissued Dirge as a common regular reissue, but not Ramjet and Thrust.

Thrust and G1 Ramjet are the only two seekers missing from my collection. I do have a purple G2 Ramjet.....but he doesn't count. Come to think of it, I would love to see a Classics seeker recolor of G2 Starscream and a wide release of the classics G2 Ramjet repaint....oh yeah, I never got Classic Ramjet....damn, my seeker collection is so missing many holes....

I got rid of all my 1980's reissue seekers when the better & more super poseable classics & MP seekers got created.

Goki is right, the convention exclusives are pretty rare and pricey. I was thinking encore just to cut costs and get a new toy. I would be all over an Encore two pack like TC & SW.
