I had a pair of light blue Clean but it went missing during a camp... and the one and only shop(I reckon it is) in the whole of S'pore does not carry Soaps anymore... so any help at all would be great... Thanks!

I can't do shipping for you. Sorry. Most of this stuff will be coming from the UK. Other stuff from Australia.

Cleans and Sqeakys are very different Shoes. Different uppers, lowers, and a different comfort factor. I'm leaning towards the Sqeakys. They come with an awesome BBK grind, and they are more stylish than Cleans. But if you want Black Sqeakys, I can't tell you where you might find those.
Faders... I don't know. The front looks like a very durable material. The back looks like some sort of fabric. All of the silver you see on that shoe is reflective piping, including the logos. Give these shoes some light, and they will shine.
Goas aren't much of a grinding shoe, and same goes for the Fader. Cleans will last a very long time, and it will really appear so in black. Goas will get dirty, and watch out for the heel. It may start to fall apart back there. Yes, Goas do come with the BBK grind plate, and Cleans come with the Original. The BBK is superior to most other rail plates; you get speed and a strict lock on. The Original provides strict lock on also, but with less speed. The sides of the BBK allow Tweakage, and with the Original tweaking may be a challenge.
I can't say much of anything else. I wish I knew more.

the plates arnt switchable right? I mean regular plates to BBK plates?
how long do you reckon them non-replacable plates can last anyways?

I can't tell you where Black Sqeakys are available. I don't know. They could be out there... somewhere.

The arch part of the grindplate is a little slow, and there are plates with better lock-on, such as the BBK. The half-sole grind plate is faster, and more fun.
As a bonus (or maybe just part of manufacturing the shoe), a bit of plastic sticks out on the end of the half-sole plate, so if you angle your foot, you can slide around! Take that, Heelys!
And if you don't like that plastic you can easily wear it down to nothing.
Oh, and there is a possibility that you might sound like a horse while wearing T-Bones. The plate clicks against surfaces, or at least mine did.

Take a look. Many shoes are there to be had there, young grind padawan.
And yes, plates click. Especially when running.

If you're on about international shipping: I don't blame you for being uneasy about it, but I assure you that most of the companies are reputable and would most likely do all in their power to make sure you get the right shoes at the right price.

Alright the shoes... I guess Im going to have to go grovel and beg my folks haha...

You can use google to make price conversions.
Type: x British Pounds to x Singapore dollars or whatever you need.
