I'm seeing it for pre-order at a few places.

PDF version is available here if that will work for you: Yoon-Suin, the Purple Land - 2nd edition [PDF] — Noisms Games

Honestly for one Halloween season, I remember watching stuff on Hulu in a virtual room they set up that was very atmospheric and fun. But obviously you are there for the full 3D/VR experience most of the time.

You can't see the miserable hovel you live in.

Guardians of the Galaxy D&D Special.

I mean, I guess they don't just want to have a set that people buy because "Stranger Things" and then it turns out it's just a generic D&D set (which is what they would actually be playing in universe).
