Haha. I should have figured. Don't know why I got so excited. Sure, you can get a carded mid-headgear, but to actually MAKE it you need to donate. You'd think they'd have thought of that and made a Cyclops[0] NPC first, so that you don't HAVE to donate, or rely on a low-chance Xmas box that probably isn't around anymore.
I mean honestly, the guy says you need ingredients for each piece of the visor, then you need ANOTHER visor for a base? Come on.
Kudos on the Optic Blast reference, though.
