Are you kidding me, 150 points for this? I'm sorry but these 5 clix characters are getting to be ridiculous. You pay 150 for that I'll pay 150 for a character with some staying power.

He could do very well with Emerald Empress @ 110 pts, both being able to make free attacks at the beginning of your turn (when pushed). Very top-heavy, though. Stick with IIM001 unless you need a flying ranged attacker for your GotG theme.

I think for 150 points this guy is the better choice: wxm059e Colossus

The status quo is changing. Judging by how you comment every time a dial is five clicks long, you must recognize it, but I'm not sure if you know how to process or contextualize it.

Yes, there are a bunch of Iron Man pieces who have 7 clicks of life for 150 points or cheaper. I was waiting for them to make the space armor and i will buy it anyways, but i am sort of underwhelmed about his lifespan, even at his 200 point dial. I know that Star-Lord from this set and Chase movie Rocket will help me deal with the shortage.

@ garrus vakarian: Weak sauce man. I understand it just fine, Does not mean I have to like it nor accept it. Especially as the "status quo" appears to be a very fluid thing at best. Not long ago ranges were seemingly being scaled back, yet the last couple of sets started showing greater range values again. I just think they are missing opportunities with split dials. But to each his own.

And for the record I don't have a problem with 5 clix of life. Its the cost of the characters with 5 clix of life. Dials under say 80 points makes perfect sense for minions and lesser characters. Not for 150 point characters, nope.

About the only thing this piece (and the 200 pt version) has going for it is the lack of high point hard hitting GOTG keyword pieces. With that said I would still play something a few points cheaper to fill that role instead of this dial, including the old Phyla-Vell.
