Not sure if he has the cord adjuster thingys, but you can get those lots of places (i.e. ebay).
i want the whole kit, buying the parts separately rise the shipping cost and my carbon footprint. Gossamer gear have a nice kit "50' of EZC 2 Line + 12 Clamcleat line lock's" for $24.50, MDL have this kit "LiteLine Mini LineLock Set" 60' of 1.5mm High Visibility Orange Spectra Core Line and 12 linelocks for $26.00.
any more options out there?
Just realized you are in Colombia. Send the guy at Arrowhead a message–see the "contact us" on his website. Explain your situation. He will probably let you order the line locks and have them shipped to him (or he may be able to get them for you). Then he can ship them together. He's very customer service oriented. I have ordered from both companies with excellent service.

The problem with MLH Dacron guy line kits is the intended use: "the High Strength and UV Resistant Guy Line is designed for 3 Season Use."(MLH), i live in Manizales, Colombia near to the Natural National Park "Los Nevados", i will be trekking on a altitude between 7086 feet and 16814 feet, some parts of my treks are very high, and i need a guy line pretty strong because the strong winds, a maybe some glacier tarpin', sleeping under 30ºF at night means frozen guy line.
my shelter system is:
Integral Designs SILPONCHO 5' X 8' + 12 6' Easton stakes + Outdoor Research Aurora Bivy.
the only missing part is the guy line, but if the MLH guyline kit can take the 4 season abuse i buy it!
5 minutes later: ok, MLH sell 4 seasons cord! http://cgi.ebay.com/MLH-1-9mm-200-Dacron-Tent-Tarp-Guy-Line-Guyline-/250627079031?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5a89bb77
I'm sure that would work just fine, but you should know that it's not the same as the Arrowhead / BPL product. Personally I would probably kill myself using dark green guyline but on snow it's not as much of an issue. I still suggest having Arrowhead get you exactly what you originally wanted. The shipping problem can probably be resolved and the carbon footprint really doesn't apply. No one is making a separate flight to South America just to send some guyline.
That sounds like really pretty country down there. Not sure if I'd use a sil poncho tarp, though! At least get a few better stakes. Your silnylon tarp will probably rip before strong guyline does. If that is your only rain protection, you might want to be careful. The micro line locks should be your weak link though–that's a good thing.
Ok, i buy 12 Linelocks with the 60' of 1.5mm High Visibility Orange Spectra Core Line from Mountain Laurel Designs.
i need a very strong cord for the high winds but not only for this, i choose it for the durability. i make a LOT of high altitude trekking, i will be using the cord in tarpin', for my best friend MSR Hubba Hubba tent and misc uses this mean a lot of UV exposition.
i don't understand why you suggest stronger stakes, Easton 15 cm stakes are very strong and light and i have 12, i can't use larger stakes because the soil here is very hard and rocky(volcanic soil), for glacier tarpin' i want to make some Deadman style stakes or i can use some ice screws and mountaineering tools.
as you suggest, the tarp will rip before the guyline break in very strong winds, i must be careful with the wind conditions in the glacier, if too much strong wind, i prefer sleep in the Bivy sack almost closed and use my Western Mountaineering VBL Hotsac for a temperature boost and take advantage of the terrain for wind protection.
P.D: Excuse my english.
