... Put point totals in the list of returned figures. A good percentage of my searches are for filling out teams and looking for alternative figures. The primary item I'm looking at is point cost. I can't image I am alone in this. Adding point value in the list would cut down my views of individual characters by 50%

Have you tried sorting by point cost in the advanced search?
It's the very top selection in advanced search called "Group & Sort By". Just select Point Cost and you can choose either ascending (lowest point cost to highest) or descending (highest point cost to lowest).
On this note, all the AE figures do not have their point cost showing when you do a show all for a set list, though they do sort into the proper order when sorted by cost. If the value should be say, 94 points on Man-Wolf, its just blank, but situated in the right order. Can we see that value, since its obviously in there somewhere as a value? I can't tell you how many times I've had to add the figure into a team build in order to see its point cost, then delete back off the team again. I don't see why it can't be visible with point cost?
been meaning to write this to you guys for awhile.

If you are asking for the AE figure to show two point costs at the same time, the program is not designed to display that.
Besides, if you are team building, just add the figure with street clothes into your build since it has the correct point cost you will turn your Alter Ego into. Remember you aren't allowed to start a game with an AE figure on its orange starting line as part of your force. So if you were trying to play say a WoS Spider-man at 50 points you can't do that. You have to play the Peter Parker who then turns into that Spider-Man when he gets to the AE power.

No, I mean any figure that is part of an AE- be it the civilian identity, or the super hero AE- do not show any digits in the field for points. You have to click the add button in order to see the point cost pop up in the build column. I would prefer it show like any other figure's value when you show a column of figures from a complete set or a search query. I understand how the AE system works, but it just annoys me that when you do an AVM figure list, the Iron Man that Tony Stark AE's into for example, has a blank data field value. So does Tony Stark.
Maybe I am doing a poor job of communicating what I am trying to say?

I'm not sure I'm seeing what you are seeing. I see a point cost with each AE unit. It's in the upper right corner of the "black area" (to the right of where the TA would be) just like it is for every unit.

I think you are looking at them individually. Click on a set icon. It will list all the figures on the set in a column on the left. At the bottom click "All" next to the "show selected" button. When all the figures in a set are listed in the right side column, you will see what I am talking about. I checked it on a couple different computer systems to make sure it wasn't just some graphics setting issue.
The 4th column from the left is "Points". An figure that is an AE has a blank field for its point value.

Ah ok, now I see what you are talking about. It's funny because I rarely ever used that feature to view figures (I would always look at them individually) so I never noticed point costs were missing for AE figs. I will look into fixing that. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Ok, this is fixed now. We also got the figures with multiple TAs to show up too. Please let me know what you think.

Close. I've not used that feature before. While it does help. The lack of set indication in the list is off-putting given the way the list is returned in every other search. Now I have to click on the figure to see what set it's in.
I'll try it out and see if it grows on me. Basically having the set, name, item # and point cost is the rosetta stone.
