In 2002 Tomy introduced the refreshed Shinkansen lineup and several other new Plarail sets and trains.

Tomica Magnum Rescue unfolding vehicle playsets.

Tomica garage and ramp type playsets.

Tomica map playsets and Tomica Town buildings and road.

The regular Tomica range... I like the little dog guy they used in some of these catalogues.

More Tomica, licensed and sound-making ones and gift packs.

Motor Tomica, which was winding down before being reformatted as Plaroad, and Tomica Limited.

Bit Char-G small rechargeable cars - these were exported, I have the Mario and Yoshi ones in their boxes somewhere... and Hikarion.

The cool Blue Train set with eight PlaKids... the early hanging monorail range including the slope rail is also shown.

The new Shinkansen lineup, and a few new other new-for-2002 trains with PlaKids on the left, and what was still available in the regular range at the time... in 2003 the rest of the range would be updated or replaced. A few trains have "high power" motors that can pull ten cars...

Plarail rail and accessories.

The Thomas the Tank Engine range, including the 2002-only Powerful Gordon with more powerful motor.

The Talking Thomas series, still on sale, and the Thomas series sets available at the time - the white running board was not yet standard.

The very cool Thomas and Terence Loading and Unloading Set, new for 2002, and some of Tomy's other Thomas toys including the Big Loaders and My First Thomas series.

A Plarail game for PlayStation 2 and some Plarail and Tomica goods.

More stationary and books and the Sega Pico games.

The rear has some of the usual Tomy promotions.
