Anyone have any thoughts on if the voucher line will be long to pick-up your preorder stuff? And guesses/estimates for how long it should take?

Obviously, there won't be any of the having to run people's credit card info on the jammed Con phone lines, but the 10 AM-Noon (2 hours) and 1:30 PM-4:00PM (2 1/2 hours) pick-up times have me a bit worried.

Can someone help ease my worries any...?

My personal opinion is that it will be a hassle at first, maybe the first hour, maybe two.

I think that they have done the right thing by offering presales to get the lines down from last year.

I bet that anyone in line will be in and out inside 30 minutes once they have a rhythm going

I think it might be a bit of a jam first thing Thursday, but I wouldn't expect it to be like that for the rest of the weekend. It's over at the Marriott, not the Convention Center, so I don't think everyone will be heading there at the same time.

Did I miss something?
Is the preorder pickup line somewhere besides the Mattel Booth?
Thanks guys!

Nevermind to my above question... I didn't read my confirmation email closely... Yes, I'll be picking them up at the Marriott...

Pre-order pick-ups are at the Manchester Room 1 at the Marriott next to the Convention Center. If you are facing the Convention Center, it is the hotel on the right.

Chase, you beat me by a few seconds. I will delete my post as yours is more clear

It took me 1 and a half hours to get my pre-orders. What a mess. My wife was able to navigate the actual line in half that time to get our Polly Pockets. No way I'm doing a pre-order next year what a fiasco.
