Re: new re-release on dvd but no blu?
Because they have not been announced yet? There are probably 100,000k+ films not available on BD but have DVD counterparts...
The Breakfast Club will eventually come since it was previously on HD DVD.

The answer's that studios are still pretty stingy with catalog titles at the moment, especially when it comes to the '80s.

Back to the Future being the worst offender if Universal actually releases this on DVD with no Blu-ray release.

Yeah, still no reason for not bringing TBC to BD.

The Breakfast Club received the most special features, with a commentary track, a documentary, and a "Brat Pack" featurette...
Weird Science got a documentary, trailer, and the TV show pilot episode...
Sixteen Candles only got a documentary...
Here's hoping Universal puts these bonus features on the eventual Blu-ray releases!

It'd be nice if Universal could get ahold of Molly Ringwald. She was the huge, conspicuous absence on those Brat Pack Special Editions. I'm sure SD owners would be mad, though, if instead of exclusive features, BD got an exclusive extended version of the stuff they already have.
