Most retail stores currently at the moment are only stocking Mario, Pikachu and Luigi. I would imagine the next lot of deliveries are when Wave 3 comes out. Best bet currently if you want them other than those 3 would be to check online but would expect to pay more then the $14-$18 in store here.
About the best place to get stock is a Japanese online store. You don't get the English writing on the package but you get the Amiibo.
Target/JB HiFi/BigW are pretty much sold out. You'll be lucky to find the occasional Mario or Pikachu. If you do see stock (had a mate from interstate find a whole lot of Capt. Falcons) jump on it.
If you want, do a ring-around. Get the numbers of all the stockists in your area (or area prepared to travel) and give them a call. They probably won't hold stock but if you get moving pretty quick you might get it before it sells.
Otherwise, sadly it's over-inflated prices on eBay/Gumtree.
I called Nintendo directly (not too far from my house) and asked about stock. They don't sell from their retail section, but only supply retailers so I couldn't get any info from them about getting extra Amiibos. As for the GC Adapters… sounds like there's no word on further stocks. Such a sad day.
Cheers guys
alternatively go www.gumtree.com.au
some are selling the rare/hard to find Amiibo for around $30-$40…
They're really hard to find at the moment.
Are you after Wave 1, 2 or looking to preorder Wave 3? Particular characters?
Stock comes and goes pretty regularly at Mighty Ape so check back to that page often. Otherwise, I keep an eye on my local Target and KMart stores as they'll often have a few characters stocked every so often (but not in large quantities).
If you're after a particular Amiibo and you're willing to pay for it then you can try eBay or international stores (like GAME UK).
There's still no definite answer whether any are actually discontinued. I don't think Nintendo have really decided yet. So I wouldn't go nuts on paying overs for anything.
Edit: Oh yeah, and this Whirlpool thread gets updates if people find stock so also worth monitoring.
