My critter costume pieces! Nooo!!!

So, I was going to test out a custom critter faction I made, put a lot of effort into it, this afternoon I log in an suddenly half the group is invalid! Why? Because the Valkyrie pack costume pieces I had given them are suddenly no longer available! Scrolling through, I realized wedding pack options were gone to!
Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone know why this is happening?

If there's a disconnect from the AE server, you lose access to the special goodies you bought to make your AE missions.

You can try re-buying the unlockables from the Ticket Vendor and that should resync you (you won't actually be spending Tickets).

If you have two accounts it would not show up either. It happened to me. I thought they were just messing AE up with all the trying to nerf farms, so I just let it be. It was actually because I did not unlock the extras on my second account, so if I logged in with it, something new was invalid. And likewise(stupid me), when I logged and something was invalid, I would replace it with something cool...that had not been unlocked on the other account and get invalid again. Finally I caught on and unlocked everything for both.
