	*In [[mold]]ing, it refers to part of the network of channels that distribute material to parts of a mold. Material (molten plastic or [[die-cast\|die-casting alloy]] in the case of [[Toy\|''Transformers'' toy]]) enters the mold through the large '''sprue''', is distributed to the mold cavities through smaller '''runners''', and enters individual cavities through '''gates'''. Sometimes this whole system of sprue, runners, and gate is called the '''sprue system''' or '''runner system'''.		*In [[mold]]ing, it refers to part of the network of channels that distribute material to parts of a mold.

	Parts are often left attached to their sprues when Transformers are sold as [[~~Model Kit~~]]s. [[Weapon]]s of otherwise assembled toys may also be packed this way to save on costs. Sprues can be an excellent and cheap source of small plastic rods for [[customizing]], which can be quite nice if one has already spent all available funds on [[Toraizer]].
