OK, maybe not actual LEGOs heating your homes, but darn close... From the Helsingin Sanomat International Edition:
"About ten tons of counterfeit Lego blocks were destroyed at the Kymeenlaakso waste processing plant in Anjalankoski on Thursday. The plastic will be mixed with other waste and burned at a district heating plant in Lahti...
A container full of the Chinese-made copies of the famous Danish interlocking building blocks was seized by Finnish Customs as it was en route from the Port of Hamina to Russia.
Customs officials estimated the average value of the load at about EUR 1.36 million, and said that their market value would be many times that amount."
