www.toy-wave.com has Revoltech joint sets for sale if anyone is interested. The only downside is that they are orange.

Yeah, I noticed that too. More neutral colors - black, white, grey - would rate a purchase from me.
Orange seems fairly limited in its usefulness.

Other than the white, I bet you can use RID dye to make these into other colors. That is how people make custom colored vinyl figures.
As for white, you would likely have to paint.
The only joins I have broken so far, just happen to be that color. Since i bought the Ultra Magnus figure, it came with extra white ones.

Black and Grey joints for me Orange seems too 'flamboyant' for any figure. I'd think the manufacturer would have thought of that when making the joints... any robot with connections are gasketed in either grey or black or some dull color, architecturally speaking. zozo-Magengar

I think the orange is mainly to draw attention, and wow people at trade shows. I say this because at the NY ComicCon they were handing out for free, those same blister packs of sample joints to everyone who came to look at all their releases, and sample play with loose revoltechs.

Those dark ones look nice.
For dark gray joints, and black ones, I'd use the Assembleborg joints... their like a flat matte finish and are quite versatile. I thought again about the orange revoltech joints, and I'd use them if I were to make something like a custom "Aphrodai-A" robot figure, since she's already orange in some of her body parts. The same for a custom "Jet Jaguar" in his knees and elbows. Too bad there aren't any Red nor Yellow revoltech joints, because Those colors would look awesome on a custom "Koji Kabuto" figure. "Metallic" colored revoltech joints would also look cool on custom Ultramen figures.
Since I started acquiring Revoltech figures, and having used spare Revoltech joints for repairing my MechaColle Mazinger model kit, I've grown obsessed with wanting to stock up on more revoltech joints of any kind possible. ;D

I have the prices on each of the pic. That's the best I can do. My distributor told me that's it's hard to find. How many are you needing? Let me know because I'm ordering more to sell in my site. It takes about 15-20 days to arrive.

Yup, those bagged joint sets were first made available alongside Assemble Borg on Kaiyodo's online store. Despite selling out from time to time they aren't really in short supply. Due to the Japan-only online store they originated from they were a little harder to come by in the rest of the world for a while. However, more recently bigger (and international) stores like HLJ and AmiAmi have been stocking the sets (along with the pliers and orange boxes) in both black and flesh. Just search either store for "revolver joint." I hate to say it, Tampa, but you're getting charged more than double MSRP on these by your distributor...close to triple for the 10mm ones. On the positive side of things, the recent release of Assemble Borg stateside via Amazon means that these joint sets are supposedly going to be available via Amazon sometime in the near future. At $4.99 for most sets they'll probably be a little more expensive than the import ones (depending on just how bad the exchange rate gets, I guess), but at least we won't have to worry about shipping cost and combining the with other orders as much. www.assembleborg.net/01_blastoff/product/lineup.html#joint

I had bought a set of Ass'borg joints (as well as the orange RevoTool/Joint Pack) from sellers who have online stores at eBay. The packs cost me roughly about $10.00 USD free shipping at the time I bought them. They turn up on eBay stores often if you do an eBay search for "Revoltech" and "Revoltech Joints".

Sorry to be a downer, I hope it was actually of some help. I feel bad that I kind of just interfered with a potential sale
