Usually 1 or 2, sometimes 3.
One or two in english if two then one is a nukige while the other is not and then one in japanese.
Btw atm only reading 1, that being Imouto Paradise 2. Currently taking a break from VNs in japanese since I am reading through assasination classroom in japanese and don't feel like reading too much in japanese at the same time.

After quite a long wait I have finally have the Grisaia complete box.
This is the front of the box

The back of the box

The sides of the box


The back of the things that houses the games as well as the soundtracks.

The games and soundtrack

The artbook (it is quite large)

A random sample from the artbook (sorry for blurry picture, not really that steady when holding a camera).
Extra items

Size comparison with a regular DVD case and a normal japanese physical VN.

As for the quality of this I would say it is amazing. It looks wonderfull and it has quite a lot of weight to it and just feel like an overall really high quality product. If I were going to nitpick some things I guess one would be that I think it would be nice if they had the small extra stories on disc, since they already had so many things on disc they should have just added one more (not a huge complaint though since they are only really short stories, <2 hours each according to vndb). Another thing is that the cover thing for The cleaning of grisaia light novel doesn't really seem to fitt perfectly (seems larger than it should be compared to the book). Though again these are just small nitpicks, overall I am really really satisfied with the quality of the box and glad I bought it even though it was really expensive.

Last year's goods from Japan


 

I've got a good handful of english manga but it's all at home in Florida and I'm up in Ohio during the school year. What do have on hand though is my Japanese music. Ask me about any of these and I'll tell you what the best songs on them are.
EDIT: I messed up the formatting. There are two more pictures inside the spoilers.

Motivated by the recent revival of the VN collection post I figured it would be interesting to see what otaku things people have. Considering that there already is a place for VN collections I guess there is no point in posting that here. So this will be things like manga, anime, figures, etc. 
 
My japanese manga and some light novels
My english manga
My anime blu ray collection
My artbooks
My wallscrolls
My figures

My physical visual novels for PC, some are english and some are japanese.
My console VNs
Hybrid VN that aren't counted as VNs on vndb
 
There are also some that I am hopefully going to get in not too long. Those are the Newrin collector's edition, Grisaia complete box the english 18+ version, Momoiro Closet, Island deluxe edition and Flowers Les quatre saisons in japanese for PS4 (not sure what I will do with the english edition of the first one, dislike having something incomplete).

It's ok past Derg, just look at how much of a weeb you've become: (/ω＼)
Grisaia Complete Box
Masada World Box
Noratoto 2 tokuten
Miburo tokuten
 
This is just a small portion of the physical games I bought in Japan. I had to get rid of the boxes for most of them, as I couldn't possibly fit them all in my suitcases, haha. Kept all the CDs, and shipped the most important tokutens etc back home to Norway, so here's the rest of them + some TLed games / kickstarter stuff:
The JP stuff:
Miagete Goran tokuten
Shuffle Essence + tokuten
Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai tokuten
Izuna Zanshinken tokuten
 
TLed ones:
Flowers
Dies Irae
Root Double
Princess Evangile
The last one is a part of the Noratoto 2 tokuten. Forgot to remove it.
 
Plus all my PSvita games: (Cba to list these w)
 

Very small physical collection here. From top left to bottom right:
- Shoujo Shin'iki
- Ooedo Blacksmith - Not actually considered a VN I guess but I'm not retaking the picture.
- Date A Live: Twin Edition Rio Incarnation - Includes all 3 Date A Live VNs to date
- Mahoyo
- Hello Lady! OST - Paid $40 for this just to get the full version of the theme song. No regrets.
- Time Hollow - My first VN before I knew what VNs where. Disappointingly linear plot for a VN about time travel.
- Hotel Dusk: Room 215
 
I also paid for the physical game tier of the Narcissu kickstarter back when everyone thought Sekai Project were going to be the saviors of VNs in the west. It's been 4 years almost and I still haven't gotten that yet.

Let's revive this thread! I posted my collection in 2016, but here it is as of 2018. It'll probably be a while before I can take a photo again.  

Whoa, I have never seen so much Grisaia stuff in one place before! 
Here's my most recent PC collection pic (for some reason I don't take photos of my console VNs):

As should be apparent, my focus is almost exclusively on English releases. There's just something I find appealing about owning them in physical format whenever possible. Will probably take another pic after Anime Expo as that's generally a good time to snap up what is still missing. 

If you plan on getting one of the Neptunia games start with Rebirth 1, also it can be smart to wait for a sale. There are often massive sales on them like 80% of.

Monmusu is in my opinion an even worse Sayori VN released in 2018, but ye Tropical Liquor is really bad.

Maitetsu, I Walk Among Zombies Vol. 1, The Ditzy Demons Are In Love With Me, Re;Lord 1 The witch of Hertfort and stuffed animals, Fatal Twelve, Mhakna Gramura and Fairy Bell, A Light in the Dark, Neko Para Extra, Neko-nin exHeart 2, Shining Song Starnova, Love's Sweet Garnish, Lynne, AIdol, Girls in Glasses, CyberRebeat, Last Stanza, Hard Work, Creature Romances and Innocent Forest: The Bird of Light are titles published by SP last year. While this looks like a lot, most of them were either short titles (not that much to translate) or english original titles that were just published under SP (they probably weren't really involved in those but just put their name on it and got some profit for using their name). The only ones I can see that are medium length or longer and not originally english are Maitetsu, Fatal Twelve and The Ditzy Demons Are In Love With Me.
 
The Ditzy Demons Are In Love With Me actually got a release date early 2018, but it got pushed back to the end of the year, from what I seem to remember it was because it still lacked the Chinese translation and Sayori wanted to release it with all the language options. This would mean that they kind of screwed up by giving it a release date before really checking if it actually could be released within that time. 
Then there is Maitetsu which was a huge blunder with the censorship issues.
Fatal Twelve I haven't really heard that much about so I guess they probably did a decent job with it.

For that to happen it probably requires another outrage from anti censorship people, though so far the titles that have been banned from steam have not had enough of a following to cause the same kind of outrage Nekopara and Huniepop did. As long as they target things that are niche I doubt there will be a large enough backlash for them to stop banning random VNs.

Have now started doing my large yearly update, will probably take a bit of time.

I did misread the year as 1999, so my apologise here. Anyway, happy 23rd birthday to you then and once again hope that you'll have another good year ahead.

Sadly not many people buy physical VNs which makes situations like this happen. Seems like the only currently viable options are either crowd funding or selling physicals for only the most popular titles.
