The 'R' does not stand for recast

As an industry practice, XM produces a small special run, typically between 20-35 pieces of what we refer to internally as ‘Samples’, ‘Promotional pieces’ or ‘Approval pieces’. These are numbered beyond or different from original ES.
These pieces are;
> Approvals and reference to Licensors. These are sent to licensors as part of the manufacturing process.
> Used for promotional and marketing activities such as conventions, loaned to overseas distributors for in-store displays and awareness, contest giveaways etc.
> We also gift these to Artists, Partners who helped us with the project.
