Frontwing will soon give more info about shipping of physical copies for their kickstarters. It will probably include another final date for shipment which they most likely will fail to deviler on.
Nekonyansoft has recently started talking about potentially kickstarting their physical releases. While many, myself included are a bit annoyed at VN kickstarters in general due to how FW and SP has handled things, I can see that it might be rather risky to do physical releases without one. So while it might not be the prefered way it is understandable in my opinion and whether it turns out good or bad will depend on whether or not Nekonyansoft will be able to deliver their physicals within a reasonable timeframe.
Jlist is currently selling Jast USA holiday box set which is a bundle of 3 VNs from Jast USA for $60.00. As for the value of these titles they mention that it has a value of at least $100.00 so it seems like a rather decent sale. The downside however is that you don't know which VNs you are going to get which could result in getting VNs you already own or that you don't care about. Personally I am not really a fan of these types of mystery boxes as I like to only collect VNs that I think seems like something I will like.
Here are a few titles that may be close to getting sold out or have a limited time left for pre-order.
There is a limited amount of physical copies for Clannad: Side Stories at sekaiproject, it seems to be leftovers from the original kickstarter.
On PS vita the physical edition of Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternate is being sold over at ricedigital and I am pretty sure that it is a limited run.
Backerkits that are still open Alpha's Adventures, Sakura Sakura Seven Days and Venus Blood Frontier
The kickstarter for Irotoridori no Sekai now has 18 days left with 37.500/85.000, hopefully they manage to get it funded for an english release. Unfortunatly the funding needed to get the sequal and the fandisc are quite high and very unlikely to be met, though they did mention that they will look into other ways to get them funded than through this campaign if the goals aren't meet.
According to J-list my Grisaia complete box has now been shipped. There have also been a bunch of people saying that they have goten it as well as some pictures, so it is pretty safe to assume that they have actually managed to ship out Grisaia complete box this time, hopefully I get mine the next week. Hopefully this also means that there won't be major delays on their other physicals from kickstarter.
Mangagamer has now announced a physical release of Magical Marriage Lunatics!!, since I have enjoyed all Moonstone titles I have read so far I am really looking forward to it. The physical copy can be bought at Mangagamer. There is also a wallscroll voting campaign where people can vote for one of 7 designs which determines which wallscroll they will produce for their wallscroll bundle.
I have decided to stop with these reviews where I do a short review and show the physical edition, but I have recently made a video where I talk about visual novels that are spinn-offs of anime so for anyone that liked getting more info on those titles you can check that out.
So far I have only made 2 parts but this will be a 4 part series where I will go through every VN based on anime I have read. I plan to release one part each week.
The kickstarter for Irotoridori is planned to start Febuary 4. I think it will be interesting to see how it goes especially since the sequal and fandisc is going to be stretch goals. Personally I probably won't back it though since I already own the physical japanese version.
Frontwing has just released a new update with new plans for when things will ship. While this is generally a good thing I doubt they will manage to follow this plan due to the sheer amount of delays we have faced so far. Well if by some miracle they actually manage to follow their plan I just need to wait a bit more for my Grisaia complete box.
From Denpasoft there are news of the physical copies of Love's sweet garnish being shipped.
Jast USA is currently having a sale on physical copies which last from now until Febuary 11. Link is https://www.jlist.com/c/j-list-visual-novel-sale
