New Jay and Silent Bob Monopoly Game

It wsa recently revealed that Diamond Select Toys is going to be releasing a Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Monopoly game summer 2015, retailing for $39.99.

If you don't know, back in 2001 (yes, it's really been that long ago!) Kevin Smith gave us Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! It starts off with our two heroes finding out that their comic book likenesses, Bluntman and Chronic, were going to be featured in a movie.  At first they were excited, but then plot to sabotage the movie from ever getting made after discovering they aren't getting a "motherfucking movie check!"  They set out from New Jersey to Hollywood to ruin the film, and adventure ensues as soon as they leave, meeting a lot of colorful characters along the way.  (Side note: This was my favorite movie that featured many of the original Star Wars actors...up until FanBoys came out!)

The board will feature the places that they traveled to throughout the movie, and will have special Chance Cards and Community Chest cards, as well as special game pieces for the game, while all set to the same classic game rules.

This isn't the first time that they've used a specific theme for a Monopoly game...in fact I'm pretty sure there are over 1,000 different types of Monopoly board games out there, from Marvel Comics, colleges/universities, television shows, movies, alcohol...well, you get the idea.  If you like something, there's a Monopoly board game that features it!
