Went to a local shop on Saturday, they didn't have it in stock and they said there was a shortage. Ordered it online and it said dispatched in 1-3 weeks. Two working days later (today), it arrived home. :D

Is it possible that there isn't actually a shortage and Apple is doing this to put people off from buying now? (Due to high hard drive prices, their profits must have come down quite a bit).
 
no, there are hard drive shortages... apple isn't holding back stock because they aren't making as much money. They still make a nice chunk off of each TC sold.
