LEGO.com suggests gap in VIP add on pack releases and new addition

The November deals on LEGO.com Australia suggest a gap in the release of the VIP add on packs as well as a new addition outside the initial four. 

In 2021, the LEGO Group launched a trial of four VIP add on packs named 40512 Fun and Funky VIP Add On Pack, 40513 Spooky VIP Add On Pack, 40514 Winter Wonderland VIP Add On Pack and 40515 Pirates and Treasure VIP Add On Pack.  

With the recent reveal of the November deals on LEGO.com, at least in Australia and New Zealand, which suggests a similar international release, three of these four packs have had their wide distribution dates confirmed. 

40512 Fun and Funky VIP Add On Pack seems to be scheduled for availability in November and until the end of December, though international details have yet to be confirmed. 40513 Spooky VIP Add On Pack was offered in October 2022 and 40515 Pirates and Treasure VIP Add On Pack was available in September 2022

That just leaves 40514 Winter Wonderland VIP Add On Pack, which would make sense to be available in December, following the other three of the four original VIP add on packs. While it has not been confirmed for release widely, the other three’s launches suggest a pattern and intention to release these initial packs to the public. 

However, the Australian online store states that 40512 Fun and Funky VIP Add On Pack will be available until the end of December and that a Lunar New Year add on pack is coming next. 

Unless the LEGO Group has changed the name of 40514 Winter Wonderland VIP Add On Pack, this appears to be a fifth, unseen VIP add on pack outside of the initial trial selection. A Lunar New Year pack would also logically be best released near the start of the Lunar New Year in January 2022.

Thankfully, as of November 1, 2022, it has now been revealed that 40514 Winter Wonder VIP Add On Pack will be available, but not for free. Instead, you’ll need to redeem it for 1,000 points on the LEGO VIP Rewards Centre.
