Well, yes, you can do this now, but your advice isn't contemporaneous to my original request. At that time, most resellers would only commit to having them 'by next week' when you called them, and their websites hadn't refreshed early this morning.
I went to Apple's flagship UK store on Regent Street in the end. I got there at 06.20, just to be safe, and was about 20th in the queue. It was quite a lot of fun - Starbucks came round and gave us free drinks, and the Apple staff were chatting away with everyone.
Doors opened at 08.00, and I walked out with my iPad at 08.04. I've never been to a launch before - the Apple employees all lining up on either side of you, applauding and whooping as you enter the store, definitely takes some getting used to!
