Today was a pretty good day.
Drove around San Antonio for ~9hrs, found 3 amiibos we were looking for. Little Mac was at HEB Plus, we got the last one. Diddy Kong was at target, guy had a box behind the counter for anyone who asked, said they only got 4 Diddy Kong & 4 Cpt. Falcons, Cpt. Falcon sold out as soon as the shipment got there.
Also, EVERYONE has Luigi. Guy at the target where we found Diddy Kong said they got 16 Luigis in, and every single gamestop / best buy / target / TRU we visited had mountains of Luigi.
Only Gamestops had Zelda, which was a bit weird. Was semi-hoping to find the "holy trinity", but I knew it wasn't going to be possible. Kinda bummed about not finding a Pit, or Cpt. Falcon, but that's OK, we had a lot of fun, and we ran into a lot of Amiibo hunters, all of whom were very nice and shared our plights. One guy even told us to start checking HEB Plus because that's where he found his Little Mac.
Interesting tidbits I got today: "holy trinity is 100% discontinued in gamestops computer" (which we've already known), and the guy at the Gamestop who told us that, told us that Little Mac was apparently one of the more common amiibos.. so he was pretty surprised when I told him that of the ~18 stores we visited before that one, we only found 1 Little Mac.
Oh, and Best Buy had a sign up in their Amiibo section saying that the release date for certain figures were "Pushed back to Dec. 30 across all stores" or something to that effect, I had my roommate take a picture because of all of the Best Buy related "release date" BS they've been spouting. Found it interesting they actually had something semi-official in their Amiibo area to stop questions dead.
So if you're in the San Antonio TX region and looking for Amiiibos:
Zelda: Gamestop
Diddy Kong: Target (might have to ask an employee)
Cpt. Falcon: Target (again, might have to ask, but they sold FAST)
Luigi: EVERYWHERE
Little Mac: HEB Plus? Maybe check walmarts too, we kind of stopped going to Walmarts after the first 2 we went to were ransacked completely.
Pit was nowhere to be seen, and no one knew when they were getting him.
