You can buy KODAK Ecktachrome 100G.
Just where do you propose buying that, outside of Ebay or private deals?
If you want a slide film, Fuji Provia 100F is probably the best general purpose film on the market. Velvia 50 is great if you want punchy colors.
I actually prefer E100GX, which is even harder to find these days than E100G. I just bought a 5 roll box of 220(2012 ex) out of another photographer's freezer, and paid close to $100 for it... I like the E100 generation films for their wonderfully neutral reproduction, tight grain, and scanning ease. I still overall prefer Velvia for MY photography, though.
BTW, Kodak IS bringing back Ektachrome. The new film will be called E100, and I've assumed all along that they're either going for a clone of E100G or will do what they did when they did when the simplified the Portra line and "split the difference" between E100G and E100GX(E100GX has a somewhat warmer color balance than E100G). They leaked some sample images on Friday, and unfortunately they look like trash-the color pallet and contrast are somewhat reminiscent of Kodachrome, but with the saturation of Fuji Astia and skin tones like...welll...I can't think of a film that bad. The contrast thing worries me, as both Kodachrome and Velvia do/did require you to nail the exposure dead on while Provia and Ektachrome tended to be a bit more forgiving and also be a little less contrasty.
