Spore no longer showing in game library (but the DLCs are)

I was in a nostalgia mood and decided to play some Spore, but when I went to download it I found it wasn't available in my library. Both Creepy & Cute and Galactic Adventures are registered on my account - though I have no way of playing either as it says I need to own the base game.

This was a CD retail key that was registered to my EA account some time in the late 2000s (which then got migrated to an Origin account when Origin released). I can still see my profile on the Spore website that says I own the base game and expansions. In my account settings I can see that my Spore account name is linked to my EA account.

I just contacted EA support and they unfortunately were unable to help - suggesting it was a bug and that I should post here to try and get it resolved.

I imagine if I bought a new key it would probably all work fine but I'm concerned why it disappeared from my account.

Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

    Hi there, 

    I'm sorry to hear you're having problems accessing the Spore base game. Unfortunately, we're unable to assist with account-related issues here at AHQ. If you have already successfully redeemed the code on your EA account in the past and you're logged in to the same account, you shouldn't need to purchase the game once again. You could perhaps try contacting EA Help Support once again and check with them if it's possible to recover access to the game.
