What pieces were sufficiently rare that they required 2.5 years and a contact to track down?

The “donut” pieces in Light Bluish Gray can go for a few bucks each, and I couldn’t justify buying 8 of them at that price for something so small. My contact would snag them from bulk trade-ins at his store as he found them, but at one point he did have to tear his car apart to locate where a couple of them had escaped to.

A few other pieces are also somewhat pricy but over time I was able to locate most of them. My contact also gifted me the Trans-Purple dome which isn’t too common or cheap.
