Yes, you do, you just don't realise it yet. Use the force.

The question should be. Where can you not get one?

Don't be tempted to use the 4066. They leak a lot of current and will not work with the forever flasher. Good luck.

I just wanted to know where to get the HEF4016BP. Also would any high brightness LED work?

I was about to suggest a surplus supplier, but it looks like they're still made and available from new suppliers. There's one on this page:
Link2

CD4016BE 296-2036-5-ND Quad Bilateral Switch ....................................14-Dip .48 .36 .27
I presume you want DIP instead of SOIC, but SOIC is also available.
48 cents each is cheap enough, though of course Digikey has their minimum order amount: "A $5.00 handling charge applies to all orders less than $25.00."

I haven't read every post or project here, where's a forever flasher schematic? When I was a kid there were no LED's, and long-term flashers used high-voltage batteries and neon lamps. It's the leftmost circuit here:

Hi..
Has anyone considered putting a series resistor in the ground line on the 4066 as a way to reduce the current drawn?

Here is a picture of my forever flasher minus the 4016 and LED. (it may look like there is a short but there isn't)
