In 2000 Tomy celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Tomica range.

The first page of the catalogue shows some different things from Tomica's history and some trivia, with the other page showing the anniversary Tomica products in 2000.

Regular Tomica die-cast cars

Some airplanes and cars that make sound as well as some garages

Some Pokémon and other licensed cars and multi-packs

Tomica playsets and maps as well as Tomica Town buildings and road

A neat crossover E3 set and the early 2000s Motor Tomica lineup

Motor Tomica road and accessories and Hikarian.

Tomy released several "box" and bucket sets in the later 1990s and early 2000s

The regular Plarail range with a mix of some older trains like the blue train, updated trains like the more detailed West Hikari and repainted 200 series, and newer toolings like the TGV.

Plarail rail and accessories. Plarail gradually replaced older odd rails with more modern types that worked with the rail standard better throughout the 1990s, and in the 2000s would offer many new types of cool switch and other rails. A neat option around this time was a pack that contained an entire loop of raised Shinkansen-style track, which was popular amongst serious collectors who wanted lots and lots of those elevated rails...

Character train sets and a range of pullback vehicles for younger children with eyes that move back and forth

New for 2000 in the Thomas the Tank Engine range was the Talking Thomas series, exported as Talk 'n' Action or Talk 'n Action in other countries, featuring two large sets, three individual characters, and two individual talking destinations.

The regular Thomas range was well-filled-out by this point, featuring most of the main standard-gauge cast at the time, with Lady and Diesel 10 joining the range as well as a Motor Tomica Lorry 1.

My First Thomas toys from Golden Bear and Tomy's push-n-gos and windups, as well as Toy Continent, the sequel to Adventure Asphault Island, and Bob the Builder toys.

The last few pages show some of Tomy's books and software including Digital Plarail and Tomica DX as well as their home goods for young children.
