Has accidently acquired clone bricks without realizing it?
I just found a blue 1x4, a blue 1x3 and a few blue 1x2 bricks made by TYCO.
Naturally, I threw these pieces in the garbage and promptly checked all my

Has this happened to anyone else before?
Are there any specific colors or elements that I should check (or do I need
to check my entire stock of bricks for clone crap?)
