Availability of certain species: opinion

I was thinking about how there are certain species that aren't as commonly available in the trade due to scarcity, waning popularity, or some other factor such as export restrictions in some SA countries. To me it seems like A. rositae and A. flabellicauda are harder to come by. I was curious if anyone else had ever been looking for a particular species but then never seem to find them through the usual channels.

Pink Apisto - (true A. eunotus), not imported in over 30 years
A. sp. Blauspeigel/Blue-sheen, not imported in over 15 years
A. pulchra, not imported in over 15 years
A. sp Rotwangen/Red-cheeks, not imported in over 15 years
A. cacatuoides Blue (really blue!) , not imported in over 35 years
There are just too many to list. Many Brazilian species disappeared from the hobby when Marco Lacerda lost control of Trop Rio.
