It is just a caching issue. The mystery items are released to all players at the same time. What happens is that new images and modified HTML code (web page code) is pushed out to HabitRPG's server, and then people's browsers usually pick up those changes. However if your browser is caching the old version of the site, then it won't show those changes to you. Reloading (sometimes after clearing the cache) is all that should be necessary to get the new mystery items working correctly. Logging out and logging back in also seems to work, probably because it encourages your browser to fetch new content instead of using the cache.
