I'd like to learn more before I make any plans for series 3. I will say I'm annoyed with SI, as everyone is. But I also really like the product and like buying the product in retail stores. I think I would try to purchase a limited amount in stores, once I know a little bit about how they're being distributed. Then maybe try to complete a set, or at least get the ones I really want, via trade or ebay. Besides SI's deceit, it's such a cumbersome series to collect that I have lots of extras I just haven't gotten around to organizing and selling. I'm afraid, for my sake, that I won't get much on ebay. But for patient collectors who want a pile of these things cheap, I think that waiting and buying on ebay will be a bargain.
