Nixie Clocks, where to get them? or kits to make?

I'm interested in getting or building a Nixie clock. I'd like to know the best place to get one if any one has a suggestion, local or online ether way. Or if any one has one privatively listed?
(note I want a real nixie clock, not a look a like)

Thanks for your time and help.

For those who are wondering, this is a Nixie clock:

From what I've gathered, they are relatively easy to make, but the problem is the tubes them-selfs have been discontinued for years, making them semi rare. a lot of the kits/tubes you find on ebay are from Europe too, so I'm also guessing that not a lot were manufactured/imported to north America.
