[p=x8] in the catalog?
If yes: how to find?
If no: why not?

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.

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?

I use to snorkel around when I was younger.


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.

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