The sprue is just a piece that held this part, it has no other function outside
of that.

and i've seen people use non-LEGO pieces in LEGO construction, should we
add those in too ?

In coral colour, I would be searching for coral. In dark turquoise, I would
be searching for seaweed. As it stands now, I wouldn't find that part in
coral. Perhaps an extended description or additional tag to include coral?

Agreed! I have submitted a name change for the catmins to review.

I disagree since LEGO calls this part plant, so if people are looking for this
part based on what LEGO has and has sold I'd be looking for plant, this is
called part continuation between sites, there is also the fact LEGO owns this
place and if they are gonna call it plant there, they can call it plant here.
|
That is ridiculous. Do you have any idea how many things we classify here according
to our names or names that are in common usage? The point is that people will
be able to search for and find this part when they need to. LEGO parts can all
be used in a vast variety of ways, but now we need to restrict classification
for just this one part because LEGO said so?? It should be called Plant and Seaweed
and Coral and whatever else is practical for sellers and buyers to find it when
needed.
Jen
|
no my point is we need to keep the plant name in.
|
My apologies for speaking harshly. Not a good day for me today. 
The change I submitted was simply to change it to
Plant Thallus, Seaweed, Coral
Jen
|
well then the error was on my behalf since I thought you meant to change it from
plant to coral.

I would have been interested in buying them when I first discovered their use
in MOCs. I had to buy new leaves instead, in the hope they would include the
sprues.
This might be one of those cases where it would be good to make an exception
and include it in the catalogue. You could try to add it and see what the catmins
think of it. Whether the sprue alone stands a chance, I don't think so, but
the 'leaves on sprue' part has precedents in the flowers, coins and keys.
|
I save my sprues from this plant element. I have used them here and there, but
not in great quantity. If I was still selling parts, I would have sold them.
On the flip side, the PAB cups and the BAM plastic cases are sold here. They
are in a sense a conduit in getting the part to your home, much like the sprue
on this plant piece.
Miro
|
yes and no, the cups are not sold as parts (that I know of), just like this site
sells boxes, but are not sold as parts.

If that one is allowed, then all the others should be allowed too. Some of them
have uses, or may have uses in the future.
|
yeah I always used the sprue from the gold coins to build up my gold horde in
my customs and such.

I think this exact thing was argued over before, and was denied since it is not
an official LEGO part or such thing, but not sure?

yes and on first impression i'd say it is a coral, but LEGO calls it a plant
and considering LEGO owns this site and to keep part name continuation between
sites I think we should also call it a plant 
|
Torso and other printed part searches are going to be horrendous if you stick
to the line that LEGO owns the site and their terminology should be used.
|
yeah but my insinuation is to not remove the plant name part.
