mines are gone too, i haven't been able to access them at all i know the archanos cape was a special CoV release and same with the Translucent cape it was a bonus when u got the dvd version of COH, and i saw i had the options in the middle of May and haven't been able to access them at all.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if maybe they were included in one or more of the costume bundles I'd recently purchased. I bought several: Vanguard, Wedding, Valkyrie, Magic, Origins Capes ...

What I heard was that they were put into the store system to "update" them form the old way they were awarded way back when to the new way of doing things.|

They are still only available to those who purchased those special bundles years ago.

I had already started a thread about this almost a month ago and suggested it was a bug, which it seems it was and was finally fixed in the recent patch.
Yeah, that looks exactly like what I saw. It's just odd that those capes showed up for like one day. Thanks - I won't worry myself about this any more

Actually if you look at thread you will see I started it May 6. The Arachnos and DVD edition capes as well as the Arachnos chest symbol and shield symbol were there for the whole month. They weren't removed from the list until the patch on May 31. |

They were probably doing something, as has been stated, to normalize the behavior or something. I was sad because I've been wanting a cape with the Arachnos symbol on it for a long time and I thought I could buy it but it wasn't to be.
Edited for typo.
Earlier this week I was looking through my cape options in the costume creator, and discovered a couple new options - a cape with the Arachnos symbol on the back, and a translucent cape that was apparently related to Vanguard or Freedom Corps (can't remember which). Today, the day after the i23 update, these options are gone.
Now, I'm not sure how I got those cape options. I've recently purchased some costume packs from the Market, including the "Origins" cape pack (those are still available). However I got them, I don't have them now.
I'll admit that I may have simply dreamed those options. I've had the last week off work and I've pretty much spent all day, every day playing the game, so maybe I've just got CoH on the brain and it's affecting my dreams...
