Ive been looking all over for a pic of the old Ledy factory, but unable to locate one, does anyone have a pic of it?

ahahahahahhahaah!!!

Good one!!!!!!!

Now it looks a little more official.




I don't recall ever seeing any pictures of the actual Lili Ledy facotry, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there.

Now I was gonna do that but I couldn't be arsed

Haha, a tumbleweed in a desert may be more appropriate

I think you can get the address maybe on a cabbage patch kid? The tag?

i seen someone post some pic's of the kenner factory in cincinnati somewhere

but no mexican factory , sorry

would love to see that

oh even better, a guy on RS was selling Ledy leaflets. I am sure one was a mail in promo. Look for the leaflets and find the add that way. Check google maps and search for pictures of the address?

I remember seeing pictures of ex employees with bags of old overstock, this was a visit I think a few collectors made to Mexico and may have even involved Gus, I have no idea where those pictures were posted but they may have even had a shot of the old factory.

Shawn has a good memory - I bet that rings a bell with him as well.

I would love to know if the building still stands, its like Star Wars toys mecca

Ive done a lot of Googling thru images but came up blank, even thru sites, its a toughie

Ok after quite a bit of searching - The big overstock Ledy find that most people recall was made by a guy called Pedro ( his RS username is - boba_fett_test_shot ) now about 4 years ago, even some of the bigger guys were looking for the old pictures and I just went through a hefty portion of posts by Pedro and still haven't dug anything up.

I will keep looking but perhaps he is worth contacting, judging from the posts he made + the amount of people that knew him , he was definitely one of the most knowledgeable Ledy guys to come out of Mexico.

Failing that - try the usual suspects, Luis , Cristian etc

Ok Joe, ill keep on looking too, ill mail Cristian and Luis see what they have lying around.

Thought this might help, bumped an old topic over on RS - http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4057884&page=0&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1#Post4057884

See what happens, to be honest I searched for a good 20 minutes on various factory discussion posts and most are either about Kenner or Palitoy so its possible no-one has ever really given much info out or asked about the Ledy one.

Not sure if this helps but here is the address off the back of a Lili Ledy

sor juana ines de la cruz no 33 tiainepantia Edo de Mexico

I am actually quite excited to see what turns up, be cool if there was a museum over there or something. I for one would be willing to make the pilgrimage! Leicester just don't do it for me

Yeh ive actually asked a couple of Mexican guys before but they knew of none, ive just emailled Cristian and Luis for any help/info/photos etc, anything Ledy related really

Are the i's in tiainepantia actually L's? There is a place called Tlalnepantla in Mexico.

I found that on a cabbage patch label

Here!

If you google map search this - sor juana ines de la cruz no 33 tlalnepantla Edo de Mexico

Then you can get to to 22 which is the Fiesta Inn, there is also a street view .. still looking now

Whoops youare right Joe!!

This is the Fiesta Inn


I haven't had a proper look at the street view map, but I went up the street a bit to see if I could see any other numbers on the buildings, have a search guys see what you can find ?

I knocked on number 22s door but no one answered

These may be new buildings too

Well I am currently looking at 31 and 35, what would appear to be 33 is a smallish building.

It doesn't have a number on it but the opposite house is 34 so I am guessing its that one.

Picture coming up
