IDW doesn't plan on collecting the Image books?!

No, not necessarily. They couldn't reprint "The River" even though the majority of the characters were created by Kevin and Pete, because Rick Veitch created Blood-Sucker and the story is still considered HIS intellectual property. That's the same reason that they couldn't reprint #8: Cerebus. I believe that #8 has actually been redone with Cerebus edited out, but it was drawn by Lawson in his newer style, so it doesn't really fit with those older books... at all.

You guys are also forgetting that "Body-Count" takes place in the Image-verse, I didn't see that mentioned here. So there are a lot of odds and ends, tie-ins with other books (like Savage Dragon) and random bits... I could see them not wanting to be bothered with it, honestly. Seems like a lot of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I love the Image series, and IF they were to reprint it, they should buy Andrew's conclusion, since a lot of love and hard work was put into it and it more than suffices as an adequate conclusion to the series, and make that conclusion official so that it can be read on a vast scale.
