I have called around to as many local places as I can, but nobody has a Hybrid LE/XLE allocated and available. Also i am not in a huge rush so 6 months is fine, just want to make sure I am on the list.

Welcome to the parts shortage era. And expensive gas (my area went up 20 cents in the last week) created high demand for hybrids and plug-ins. So that old devil supply and demand.

Big dealers get more cars.

In some areas there is so much demand that dealers can risk damage to their reputation by charging well over MSRP and you still wait.

Someone's experience a year ago is liable to have no resemblance to what you might experience today. I can tell you I custom ordered in 2019 and received $3,500 off MSRP and had it in a month exactly matching my preferences and that would be true. But today, I wouldn't expect anything like any of those factors.

Still dealing with a big dealer is your best bet. Prior sales numbers influences how many cars a dealer gets allocated. Even what region influences what models and options can be ordered.

Your best bet is tell us where you are and what you want and someone may be able to point you in the right direction.
