United Kingdom No Hong Kong Movies On BD In The UK

When Cine Asia went bust that seemed to be the end of any Hong Kong classic movies being released on Blu ray in the UK.
This situation seems crazy to me as surely there is still are market for these films in this country even if it is a small niche.
What is the reason for this?
Is it distributors are asking too much or are there no decent HD masters available? Arrow Video have released some stunning BD's of some Japanese movies but surely these are even more obscure than a lot of Hong Kong classics such as Johnnie To's The Mission, A Chinese Ghost Story, A Better Tomorrow by John Woo or the Shaw Brothers classics, i could go on.
The only light at the end of the tunnel is Eureka who are releasing the King Hu classic Dragon Inn on BD later this year. With releases by Well Go in the USA and a number of titles in Germany surely the UK should not be missing out.
