Anywhere to get the "white/grey" set that is standard on the 87U?

Thanks

I talked to Topre in Japan and they told me that they do not sell the replacement white/grey set as a separate item. Only colored sets from time to time.

Your only bet is to get the actual keyboard, harvest the caps, and sell the keyboard. Occasionally the keyset pops up on classifieds or Reddit, but that's not very common (however, that is how I got my keycaps).
You can post a request if you want. You never know if anyone out there has a set to unload.

"from time to time" - how long ago did you talk to them?

Coloured RealForce sets have been MIA for a very long time.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
