ok figured out what the issue is my security system does not like this site,
evidently this site is trying to install cookies or cookie clarification on my
system, but there is an error in their cookie permission so my system will not
allow it and evidently I cannot bypass that cookie permission, oh well.

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

Straw man.
People sometimes want the sprues to "complete" boxed sets. I see no reason not
to have a listing.
|
yeah well if the sprue ain't attached to the item it is no good when the
item still on the sprue can be bought, so your argument is pointless.

You are pleasant aren't you?
Lets start over. Hi, I don't agree with you. Respectfully.
I'm not saying I care about sprues, I don't. But people out there clearly
do so I should be considered.
Crystal

yes they care about using them by themselves in MoC's just like there were
other sprues I used in MoC's like the ones for the gold coins, but like I
said this was already tried before to get that sprue into the catalog and it
was denied. when you are on this site long enough you see many suggestions come
and go and come and go and come and go. the best suggestion given at that time
for selling them was putting them into an unsorted type lot. but that was it.
|
A lot of things have changed because of the current admin team, and a lot of
other things are going be changing because of the current admin team. If the
community wanted them in the catalog bad enough, I believe we would find a way
to make it work. 
|
and that is where the problem lies, like last time (that is still the rule if
enough of the community wants it it gets done) there is just not enough support
here for it. in fact last time the thread about it got a whole lot bigger then
this thread in like a day, now, nobody really cares. and the support for and
against is just very minimal at best.

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?

Torso and other printed part searches are going to be horrendous if you stick

Reread what I wrote. I said seaweed is "usually a bit more 'leafier'".
I didn't say seaweed is *always* a bit more leafier.
The part in question just reminds me a lot of the fire corals and elkhorn corals
I use to snorkel around when I was younger.
Interesting thing though... I just learned that fire corals aren't true corals,
but are hydrocorals. Neat!
|
yeah but several things to consider, 1: LEGO calls this a plant, and whoever
put the description plant thallus would have been more correct in the plant family
since it does appear to display what a thallus would look like, also you have
to take into consideration some of LEGO's examples of tree branches and such
are not what I would call spot on or leafy

two helmets. The "old" type came likey was made from 1999-2014, while The "new"
type appeared in the 2019 20th Anniversary Clone Scout Walker I think
this new mold was created because in order to create the anniversary figure lego
wanted to use a 1 piece Vader helmet, as opposed to the 2 piece helmets they
switched to a couple of years ago. This mold variation deserves a note in the
catalog entry for the helmet,, or a variant added to the catalog, but I'm
not sure which. If someone wants to take the appropriate action from here, please
go ahead. See the attached image for the differences between the two.
