I don't think that they are actually available. There are no video rights for them released yet but a couple of months ago Shaw Brothers sold the rights for its entire library in a business deal. I should tink the new owner may well do something with them soon.

If you are looking for similar stuff, check out www.sensasian.com . They have an extensive range of Martial Arts titles. I just bought "A Warrior's Tragedy" Parts 1 & 2 - it is a 90's remake of The Magic Blade and guess what..... Ti Lung reprises his role as Fu Hung Hsueh. If you are a fan of Erh Tung Sheng's check out Master of Zen - one of his rare acting outings as Bohidharma the founder of Shaolin. As you probably know he is now quite a famous director. Good prices - no more than $4.99 each. If you can't find what you are looking for contact the service people, they were pretty helpful, and managed to find me some late 70's early 80's swordplay movies from Taiwan. A standout one is "Strife For Mastery" with David Chiang (Erh Tung Sheng's older brother) in it. Just like you, I can't wait till the classic Chang Cheh, Chu Yuan, Sun Chung SB movies come out.

Hope this helps

Dave
