SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - Bandai Spirits released the 30 MINUTES MISSIONS 1/144 Extended Armament Vehicle (Boost Brave Bike Ver.) in Japan on Saturday, Aug. 30. The general-retail kit lists at ¥2,200 and arrives as a customizable platform for 30MM frames.
At its core, the set is a modular bike. Newly designed block-type joint parts make it easy to reconfigure layouts or fuse sections into larger builds, and a layered exterior adds depth so the silhouette reads “mechanical” even before paint. The package includes two oversized wheels to complete the motorcycle profile for compatible 30MM suits.
Layered shell and surface detail support quick, paint-optional builds with good visual depth.
Bandai’s spec calls out cross-line compatibility, so builders can dock the vehicle with existing bodies or break it down for armor and hardpoint experiments. That flexibility targets the same audience using EAVs to create transports, scouts and display backdrops around standard EXM units.
New block-type joint parts enable docking, armor swaps, and hardpoint experiments across 30MM frames.
Out of the box, you get the main vehicle and a pair of block-joint parts—enough for immediate pose tests and a clean shelf look. Decals aren’t required; surface detail and the multi-layer shell carry most of the finish for quick builds.
On distribution, this one is standard retail in Japan rather than a Premium Bandai exclusive. Overseas shops typically follow after the domestic street date; early U.S. retailer listings already show “incoming/coming soon,” which tracks with prior 30MM rollouts.
Price translates to about $15 at recent exchange rates, keeping the bike in the approachable tier for add-ons or diorama anchors. If you’re planning a combined display, budget a bit of footprint—the twin-wheel stance reads larger than a typical EAV cart.
