Plarail Releases by Month, 2003-2012 - chrisjo - 09-06-2019

Plarail releases by month from 2013 to the present are accessible on the current TakaraTomy website, at:
https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/plarail/new/index.htm This always defaults to the current month, but there's a drop-down menu from which the other months are selectable, starting with February 2013.

I've recently (re-?) discovered an older section of the TakaraTomy website that covers the period 2003 to 2012 in the same way. I don't believe this is accessible by following links/menus on the current site (though I could have missed it). This is at: https://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/plarail/new_a/index.htm

Must be so secretive that I don't see anything but the latest 3 releases on both Links of yours. Plus when I click the English button in the top right corner it takes me to what looks like the Plarail corporate page or something. Plus I am not sure what the 'picture' of Japanese writing is for Chris?

The 'picture' of the Japanese writing is the text you need to look for to find the drop-down menu (towards the top right, under the two header sections) which then provides access to the monthly releases as Chris says.

However, I can't get the 2003-12 one to work. It just redirects to the same page as the first link.

Try again now.

I can see it now Dr Chris, thanks. It looks like they must have divided them up in months instead of years...right?

The link to the 2003-2012 archive that I posted at the top of this thread no longer works properly for any date before February 2012, you just get junk like this now:

Fortunately for us, the Wayback Machine archived the pages back in 2018, so the data is still accessible:
