Importing and the collector's edition (for one out of three figures) are two of the only options at the momentRight now the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak amiibo (https://www.destructoid.com/sunbreak-is-giving-us-three-new-monster-hunter-rise-amiibo/) hunt continues to be a mystery in the US, with no retailer sightings beyond the collector's edition: which comes with the lone Malzeno figure. The others (the Canyne Malzeno Palamute and the Felyne Malzeno Palico) are nowhere to be found in the region.
Here's a quick recap of how the Sunbreak amiibo situation is going worldwide:
You can pre-order them now on Play-Asia or Amazon Japan, but they'll be shipping in late September/August depending on the retailer: some users are reporting that Play-Asia is canceling select pre-orders
Some UK/EU regions are reporting that they are available at retail (https://twitter.com/waluigispal/status/1542551618440273920), and are all out now with the release of Sunbreak itself
The US release is a complete mystery outside of the Malzeno figure being locked to the collector's edition. As the Amiibo News Twitter account points out (https://twitter.com/AmiiboNews/status/1542540323469115393), the US site (https://www.monsterhunter.com/rise-sunbreak/en-us/) removed the amiibo category altogether. The current guess is that they'll be GameStop releases, with no open pre-order period: but having spoken to multiple GameStops in my region, they are not listed in the system yet, and managers have no idea when they might arrive.
As usual, if you're a collector, consider importing! Given the current global supply chain issues they might end up becoming a rare little trio: or, things could smooth over and there could be plenty of stock. Even before 2020, it was always a gamble when it comes to amiibo.
