Edgar from Matias has said he's working on making thick PBT keycaps available. Forget where the thread is. And calavera is slowly working on an SP buy. Other than that, you'll have to buy a board to harvest from. There's not that many people making them and it's not easy to get a GB going since manufacturers seem to not have the molds.

Like CPTBadAss said, Alps caps are really uncommon since they're not as popular as Cherry MX or even Topre.  You basically have to get donor boards, find someone who's selling them (I've got some up for sale and I think Akimb0 might still have some), get them made from SP (which is expensive), or get an expensive novelty style cap from Paranoid if he still has some.

Pretty sure SP does since there are Alps caps in the crap bags.

Leopold.co.kr may have some, but currently there aren't that many on the market.
