** On an episode of MindofMencia, a midget was smashing old electronics with a sledgehammer. Everything was smashed to bits in one go, save for a Nintendo 64, which took 3 hits before the casing began to dent.

* In ''LupinIII'', Goemon's sword was forged by a secret process and is essentially indestructible (it actually broke in ''TheSecretOfTwilightGemini'' with no comment, but that was probably DidNotDoTheResearch on the writer's part and can be safely [[DisContinuity ignored]]).

* Densecris and carbonex serve as this in Steve Perry's [[MatadorSeries Matador series]]. It's mentioned that a few centimeters of densecris are enough to protect from a direct missile hit, and that a bunker with carbonex plating is 'going to take a long time to dig through'.

** Then there's the [[ArtifactOfDeath Wiimote.]]
** Hell, even Nintendo DS Flash carts are made out of Nintendium! Game cards have survived a trip through a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome washing machine]] [[BeyondTheImpossible and a dryer.]]
** This troper has a Mario Kart DS game that got run over by a 16 wheeler and functions perfectly.
*** Actually that's not that impressive since they use flash memory. Some deep sea fishing trawlers have accidentally recovered cameras that someone dropped off a ship from 6,000 ft deep and the SD cards still work.
** Also, the newer systems, particularly [[NintendoDS DSes]] in general and DS lites in particular, have an AchillesHeel in the form of their hinges, which are ''really'' vulnerable, at least compared to their indestructible bricklike ancestors.
*** Though that is all but nullified with the XL version, which has the hinge strength of a door.
** FTLOG, just try throwing your Gameboy onto a pavement, the only thing that will break will be the battery casing. Of course, the screen might glitch up and look like it's split in half, that's what happened to mine. The GBA is fine, but the screen is glitchopolis.

** This is a serious case of DidNotDoTheReasearch, though. The reason people stopped using bronze for weapons and switched to iron was that the prices of tin increased substantially due to decreased supply. Iron is not a very good material for weapons, so in the Bronze Age, bronze weapons were superior to iron weapons. Yes, iron was a cheap substitute for bronze once people figured out how to forge iron weapons. This changed only after people learned how to fiddle with carbon content in iron (i.e. when they started making and perfecting steel).

* In ''FullmetalAlchemist'', the antique armor that Al's soul was [[AnimatedArmor put into]] can somehow routinely completely deflect bullets without getting scratched.
** Although Winry whacking him with her wrench seems to do the trick.

* For a media example, the PowerRangers franchise. The show has been [[ScrewedByTheNetwork cancelled]] ''five times''. [[UnCancelled It got better]], ''five times!'' Giving new meaning to the lines:
--> No-one will ever take then down!/ The power lies on their si~i~i~i~ide!

* The Hogyoku in ''{{Bleach}}'', which is why Urahara was forced to seal it [[spoiler:in Rukia's soul]] instead of destroying it.

* In ''OnePiece'', the only reason the GovernmentConspiracy haven't completely erased all traces of the "Void Century" already is that the history is recorded on things called Poneglyphs, which are indestructable.
