  I bought a couple Trans Red 30372 for a MOC I was working on. I don't think it's particularly rare or hard to find, but it's in only one set, #6776.
  
  I also have a couple 3847 swords in black, though this one doesn't really count. While I do own one copy of the only set it was in, #6041, the other is an orphan from a Classic Castle lot I bought a few years ago.

  I found a light bley radar dish #50990 in a lot I bought. There are only 3 available on BrickOwl and 4 on BL, none of the stores are in the US. Strangely I can't seem to locate a set it belongs to. I know there is a printed one in #10179 . Does anyone know where it came from?

  @TheMaker37 ,50990 is the Undetermined stub type, try looking for 50990a and 50990b on BL, there are a lot of them.
  If you had Chima stuff in that lot probably #70105.

  I guess they are rare. I have 50 of the dark blue gray danger slope piece that only came with the UCS Y-Wing.

  Bar 4Ls in every translucent colour available, same with 1×1 cheese wedges, all the translucent colours. Some of them only come in a few sets in those colours, of which I have none.

  I am pretty sure those came in Rock Raider sets back then too.

  Do minifigs count? I have Quicksilver from the Marvel set (I can't recall the number) which otherwise has a load of rubbish in it. It's not rare - I imagine there are loads of the set hanging around, as no-one would want to buy it (IMO).

  Same for the Flash minifig from the Riddler Drag racer set.

  Only if you take them apart and count their individual pieces

  Flash also came in the Gorilla Grodd set.

  Actually, those are in the old dark grey, not dark bluish grey. I have the chrome crusher, so I happen to have some as well.

  ^^^Ok so maybe that dish isn't so rare. I do have a light bley #2618 that only came in a UCS set.

  I regularly look out for parts I've never seen before or found in a set that I own. So I bought this the other week: LEGO solar panel 87578. Here I show it powering a LED unit. Of course it's absolutely crazy to use solar energy to power a light but at least you can't blame me for not being supportive to sustainable energy!
