Is it me or are parts damn near impossible to find?

Newbie here, so forgive me if I am missing something.. It seems that the vast majority of major components in xcopter builds are very difficult, if not impossible to find? I am beginning a Turnigy HAL build that I intend to use pretty specifically for video, i.e. gimbal, FPV, etc. As a result, I'm looking at 2kg overall and it seems that I can't find a single damn motor that fits this build in stock anywhere. Looking for motors in the 28-32xx range in the 800-900kV range and it seems the only thing I can find are either huge or high kV.

Any recommendations for newbs on where to source components? (other than HK, the beginner choice)

They have no <1000kV motors and very few other products. I'm all about shopping around, but I am really looking for a decent motor and FC, almost have to default to the KK due to it's (current) availability.

Awesome video, that is exactly what I (and probably many others here) are trying to do. Those Leopard motors look pretty good, I can actually get some decent numbers out of eCalc, vs. the random **** available on ebay/HK.

Any other good suppliers us newbs should know about, or should we expect goodies to start flowing on HK and ebay?
