Limited range of CX airplane models (in 1:500 scale)?

In the previous livery, Cathay made its entire range of aircraft in all three model scales: 1:500, 1:400 and 1:200 for online shopping and inflight sales. The Boeing 772, 773, 747 and 77W, as well as the Airbus A330, A343, A346 and all the special livery planes were made.

However, in the new livery, only the 77W, A350 and Cathay Dragon A330 have been made. They have left out the CX A330 (and KA A320) which now fly with the new livery.

Is there any particular reason CX (and perhaps KA) are both leaving out their regional planes in their model collection? Is this perhaps in line with their presumably new marketing scheme with the launch of the new corporate image?
