That's quite a shame they had insufficient stock for the online launch. I think the goal of online shopping in advance was to avoid the retail hustle, but that's going to be the only way to get him. I know a lot of people will be disappointed, but he will be available more widely come September.

I'm so glad I bought mine at full retail though, rather than taking the risk for day of. They may well have more stock they're holding back for Thursday too.
