Wow, really? Just went there yesterday and was looking through the blus and saw a few copies for 19.99. Now it's unavailable for pickup.

Boo-urns - not available for local pickup here. Hopefully Amazon matches it soonish.

Thanks for posting this. The store near my office still had it available for pickup, so I'll pick it up tomorrow. I'm a big Kevin Smith fan. I was holding off upgrading from DVD to Blu for his movies, since it didn't make sense to pay for another version, but 3 movies for 5 bucks, can't say no to that.

Just got email saying shipped!

If you want Mallrats on blu-ray now, it's out in the UK and it's region-free. Currently comes out to about $16 shipped to the US from Amazon UK. The transfer apparently leaves a bit to be desired, though, and it's totally lacking in extras, so I've been holding out in hope of a better US release...

can't order it via shipping and not around in a 50 mile radius. :(

Clerks and Chasing Amy are likely my two favorite films of Kevin Smith's from the 1990's. Chasing Amy gets shit on a lot, but it was pretty a head of it's time and had a pretty great story to it.

I suspect the distribution and backers of kevins other movies is different than for mallrats. Thats probably the hangup..

Thanks for posting this, got a copy for instore pickup. Now, I can trade in those DVDs.

Thanks

I also would have preferred Mallrats over J&SBSB. Can you just walk into a BB and pick this up price matching their kiosks?

Thanks for the link! Looks like a good deal.

^^^ This. Please read this folks before whining on why Mallrats isn't included in this set.

Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors, at least when it comes to the NJ Chronicles.

I realized that I own Clerks 2 and Mallrats on HD-DVD and Dogma on Blu-Ray. So they only movies in the NJ Chronicles I don't own were these 3. None were near me at all, thankfully someone I know locally works near a store that has one so I put a store pick-up order in and should get it in a few days from him.

Great price, but I think I'll just pass.

With Clerks, I already have it (and the sequel) on BD.

With Jay & Silent Bob, I have watched half of it on Netflix recently, and while it has it's enjoyable bits, kind of mediocre. As someone else said, I rather had Mallrats.

With Chasing Amy, I'll be honest, I have never seen it, so I do not have any real interest.

Besides, I do not really care for compilation disks.

Damn, that's worth it for JASBSB alone... The other two are just icing on the cake. Fortunately they had one in my local store for pickup.

So tempted to get this and sell my old copies on eBay, but is the J&SB disc the same as the single release? Because that one only had the commentary as an extra. All of the other DVD extras were missing.

That reminds me, why in the world has there been no Mallrats Blu-ray yet?

EDIT: Nevermind. Saw the above post.

According to the listing on Best Buy, not sure in reality since I do not have mine yet. This is NOT a compilation disc. The title on Best Buy and right here in this topic states "Chasing Amy/Jay and Silent Bob/Clerks [3 Discs] Blu-ray"

While I'm not a fan of the new transfer on Blu for Chasing Amy (too much digital noise reduction which kills the intended look) it is a great movie and well worth watching.

Besides, I do not really care for compilation disks.

This is just the three Blu releases for these films packaged together in one case.

Which means J&SB has no extras except for the commentary. Not sure why Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Clerks II have all their DVD extras while Jay & Silent Bob gets shafted. Think I will keep my DVD.

dang I missed this, oh well
