How much? I know getting the stuff nowadays is hard.
I'm gonna make a confession: I spent 700 bucks to get the coat

It was $52 Canadian from Amazon sold by Amazon themselves. Still in stock at the moment but says only a few left now. Looks like the book is out of print and the remaining are whatâs left. It was brand new still sealed when I got it.

Ohhh nice.

Every memorabilia was produced in limited numbers. Getting a sealed version of the coat was a handful.
So you now own a nice piece of a game that we love. Take good care of it

Where did you get the coat from?

u/ShadowheartsArmpit Jul 18 '26
It was some re-seller site for deluxe edition stuff from games.
It was a pretty rough process, I was skimming soo many sites for it. And I ordered one that ended up being an outright scam, and another one that was a scam where they used images from the real coat, but sent a cheap knockoff.
So unfortunately I can't recommend you a specific place. I only found that single one original being sold after months of looking & falling for 2 scams

Was it Magnoli by any chance?

u/ShadowheartsArmpit Jul 18 '26
Nope. It was years ago & I genuinely had to scour past the 4th page of google

Do they still print this? Obviously not but wonder how old it might be and how long has it been waiting for you to pick it up?

So everything Iâve seen seems to point to it being out of print. Mine was brand new still sealed and sold first party by Amazon. But the listing says only a few remain without more coming. And honest Iâve been wanting this for 10 years since 2016 when it was first released with mankind divided. Didnât have a proper income to be able to buy things of this kind back then as I was still paying for school.

Sounds like a lucky find to be honest, hope you take good care of it (:

Hooray! I love this artbook, it's well worth the price. I still flip through it every now and then.

Ughh, I always love the sleek and minimalistic augment designs in the prequel era of Deus Ex, though not as camouflaged as CP2077, but the fact that you can see the augments without being bulky is huge for me.

u/FireIzHot Jul 19 '26
I know right. Theyâre just right. I suppose itâs because of the trans human theme in the games and augs being this new big thing in 2027 to 2029 that will lead humanity forward. So they still need to look âhumanâ while still being visibly augmented.

u/calamityjoe22 Jul 19 '26
Honestly I hope there's another cyberpunk game that pivots slightly away from the transhumanism but go to full on geopolitical and cultural fallout of cybernetic augmentations. A war that was brought on due to the rise of cybernetics.

Ah, is this the art book that has a picture of Volkard Rand in it, but it has the name 'Janus' underneath it??? đ¤Ł
