Why can't I get a coin I like in the Retro Holder?!

First off, I love the NGC black Retro Holder, and was quite sad when they introduced it for the limited time last year because none of the coins I collect were eligible for encapsulation in that holder. Now, this year, they offer it again for the 2013 West Point Eagle set, and even then only in bulk submissions. Though I don't collect silver eagles, I can imagine those collectors who can't submit in bulk experienced similar frustration. Now, I look on the home page last night and I see they're offering it for the 2013 Reverse Proof Gold Buffalo, and for other gold Buffalos. I got to thinking....I bought this year's lovely Platinum Eagle and I did a little research and found that it is the same size as the 1 Ounce Buffalo, so I stupidly got my hopes up and emailed NGC seeing if there was any way that I could get my Platinum Eagle in the Retro Holder and was told no. It's the same size!! Needless to say, I'm getting quite tired of NGC offering this very attractive holder only for particular coins.....and ones that I ( and others I'm sure)don't collect. I just wish that I could get a coin I like and collect in the Retro Holder. I'm really starting to get quite sick of not being able to get the holder I want when I pay good money for my membership dues every year and every time I send a coin off to be graded. I'm tired of having to settle.
