The 2005 Plarail & Tomica catalogue included 36 pages, the longest of any of the Plarail and/or Tomica catalogues up to that point.

New Tomica playsets and some of the connectable sets that were still recent at the time.

The standard range of many Tomica cars and vehicles.

More of the "standard" Tomica range.

Tomica garages and playsets and vehicle gift packs.

Tomica books, Disney licensed vehicles, and Tomica Limited cars.

Tomica and Plarail plug and play TV games and Pokemon products and Plarail sets.

The remote control 700 series with cell-phone shaped controller as well as the range of well-accessorized sets of the era.

Several more cool Plarail sets and train packs as well as the Plaroad range, updated from Motor Tomica.

The refreshed Plarail range includes a wide range of Shinkansens as well as modern and still-running older commuter and passenger trains as well as a nice selection of individual and three-pack freight trains and cars.

The rail selection is pretty nice and has everything you could want to build a nice Plarail setup with a mix of more modern accessories alongside the refreshed and updated older toolings.

Some of the Plarail and Tomica home and lifestyle products.

More soft goods and books.
