Shovel Knight has been there for a while:
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0151K6J9Y
He was available for pre-order a while back as well, I snagged one at the time. From what I understand he was put up by mistake and will be going up again soon.

The reason why amiibo have become significantly more commonplace now is because Nintendo ramped up production on them to meet demand. I know Shovel Knight isn't going to be anywhere near as popular as some of Nintendo's franchises, but even Yacht Club Games had to have known that having only around a dozen of these things available per store wasn't going to be enough. It's not like these guys haven't made merch of their game or anything before.
Oh, and pre-orders for the amiibo went up on Amazon last night. As of this writing, they're listed as Currently Unavailable.
I might also include links to pages where he's been offered but is presently unavailable:

Is there a idfference between the one on Amazon with the Smash packaging?

I bought one from here and the packaging didn't look like that though

why? It's up right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0151K6J9Y/ref=
We're talking about Shovel Knight here, which is available at normal retail price on Amazon at this very moment.
Nintendo had supply issues (partly because they were making like 100 different figures) but Yacht Club doesn't seem to be having the same problem. In fact, they specifically delayed the amiibo's release until after the holiday season to ensure that they would have enough stock.
A little over MSRP on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Shovel-Knight-Amiibo-Nintendo-Wii-u/dp/B0151K6J9Y
I've seen them at my local Best Buy recently though
Since there's a character limit, I'll post some of the past months in this comment so we can have a cumulative list at the end of the year.

Can I get opinions on shovel knight requiring his amibo to fight?
I'm okay with the crossover itself but 13 bucks plus a extra 20 if you have a old 3ds, it really points out the "physical dlc" argument.. They better have a regular way of unlocking the fight.
