No more Godzilla movies on Shout Factory.com?

Sorry if I'm late to the party and if this is in the wrong section, I just noticed that the Godzilla movies that were on shout factory.com (Terror of Mechagodzilla, Monster Zero, etc.) are not on there anymore. The Showa Gameras are on there still.

That's interesting. Shout! Factory obtained the streaming rights to those Godzilla films in when they acquired Westchester Films, which had sublicensed those rights from Classic Media in .

Classic Media's 2006-2012 Godzilla DVDs have recently been going out of stock on most online retail sites. Maybe it's not just a matter of their supplies getting depleted over time. Maybe their rights to these Godzilla titles really are lapsing or have lapsed.

God I hope someone who cares will license these days will license them and put them out on BD using Toho's 4K masters that apparentely exist.

The Classic Media Godzilla titles are the things I most want on Blu-Ray, any sign of activity with those movies sets off a note of hope within me!

Those DVDs are rather rough to look at... actually, Monster Zero doesn't look half bad.
