WHAT IS A PRE PRODUCTION SAMPLE?
When a new item is released by Enesco, a select few samples (prototypes) are produced. Out of these 1 of each item are sent to Australia (occasionally 2).
Li'l Treasures receives these samples for release via our Vault.
 

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PRODUCT?

• These items DO NOT have the stamp on the bottom of the figurine as you would normally see from an Enesco product. 
• These items DO NOT come in boxes. We wrap figures very well using bubble wrap and other suitable packaging for post however original Enesco boxes are not provided
• The item may differ from the final production version. Sometimes Enesco or the designer (ie Jim Shore or Romero Britto) will decide something is not quite right after samples are produced. This means that the end product can be different. For example, if an arm on Tinkerbell is too fragile it may be redesigned, or a pattern / colour may be changed.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER?
Many collectors find these very appealing due to the chance of receiving a one of a kind piece (if something gets changed for production).
Collectors can identify a sample by the lack of stamp on the bottom of the figure.
