The weapon was obtained roughly halfway through the season, and not used through any of the its numerous crises until they pulled it out in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E22TheGift The Gift]]" -- where it was shown to be so powerful it could knock around a god (this despite it merely knocking out Xander in its previous appearance). After that, it was never used or even mentioned again.

Possibly justified in that even Spike's vampire strength couldn't lift it (as seen in "Blood Ties"); only Buffy could actually do so.

** Just a few places that hammer could have helped are with the Ubervamps, and over on ''Series/{{Angel}}'', someone could have just brought them it when The Beast showed up. Give Faith that bitch and apocalypse averted.
** The rocket launcher meanwhile actually gets suggested to be used against the ascended mayor in [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E22GraduationDayPart2 Graduation Day Part 2]], but is dismissed as not being powerful enough. It is clearly [[AwesomeButImpractical far too powerful to take along on random patrols]], and probably couldn't have killed [[PhysicalGod Glory]]; but it could have slowed her down and may have been able to kill Adam.
* The first time the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' got a [[SoLastSeason new set]] of (supposedly much more powerful) HumongousMecha to face their new BigBad. Their mentor explained that he had been in possession of these mecha the entire time but was saving them for when the Rangers ''really'' needed them. It occasionally is indicated that they are not supposed to "escalate" the violence, so they aren't supposed to use any weapons or Zords until they need them. That said, once they got a new one, the series was usually pretty good at bringing them back.
* ''Franchise/{{Stargate|Verse}}'' lives on this trope. Now the superweapons, plebowhatsits, and other toys may not exactly be forgotten, but they tend to be built by the Ancients, are occasionally buried, and are usually good for at least one moment of glory. The Ancient outpost in Antarctica springs to mind as an example.
** Stargate does avoid most of these by introducing inherent flaws or one-time uses into a lot of alien technology. Specifically the Ancient weapon in Antarctica (as well as the chair on Atlantis) was brought up and discarded a few times due to the lack of [=ZPMs=] to power it and its limited ammunition, with the issue finally getting resolved by the Antarctica chair's destruction in the series finale of ''Atlantis''.
