Yeah I was holding out for to see if they release a big Kevin Smith Collection aside from the 3 movie collection they already did.

Jersey Girl isn't out either as far as I know

The releases are scattered across different studios.

Disney has: Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Jersey Girl

Universal has: Mallrats

The Weinstein Company has: Clerks II, and Zack and Miri

I'm not sure where Dogma lies, since it was produced by Miramax (Disney), distributed to theaters from Lionsgate, but if I recall, the BD release is Sony. I know there's a story behind it, but suffice to say, it doesn't simplify the situation at all. Not to mention where Smith's films are falling for the future.

Good chance you'll never see a big collection of all of them though, not even just the ones in the View Askewniverse. Don't hold back for it, apart from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back lacking special features, every BD so far has been definitive.

PS Smith also has a flick he directed coming called "A Couple of Dicks" distributed by WB!

Dogma is Sony.

Miramax passed on distribution because they were owned by Disney at the time. The theatrical release was through Lionsgate and it finally ended up at Columbia which is now Sony.

As for A Couple of Dicks, Smith is being forced to change the title since the major networks are refusing to air TV spots for it prior to 9pm. Smith said on his Twitter that pre-Janet Jackson scandal, the title would have not been as issue since Dick was promoted on television at all hours in 1999.

Smith was also upset at the way the Weinstein's promoted Zach and Miri, crediting them with the reason why it was such a failure. On one of his older Smodcasts, he admitted that he was dancing for joy when Warner decided to distribute A Couple of Dicks/A Couple of Cops.
