Lincoln Presidency - Where's the Beef?

Firstly, I'm surprised - though I probably shouldn 't be - that mine seems to be the first thread referring to this last of the 2009 Lincoln Cents, despite the order date opening up last Thursday, November 12th (and my birthday, to boot!).
Secondly... has the sizzle gone out of the coins themselves? There was such excitement when the Birthplace cents were introduced... then, errors galore on the Formative Years. Every which way you looked, someone was finding some unique errors, though at this stage, I still don't know what's truly being recognized as an error. There sure seem to be a lot of extra parts on the man, and in others, he's bigger where you would't expect him to be... bigger. There were times I expected someone to find Lincoln standing up, leaning on his axe with the BOOK chopped in two.
Don't seem to have heard much about the Professional Life version... apparently, someone must be paying closer attention at the Mint...
And now, the Presidency's come out. Or rather, been offered to come out.
Far as I know, none have been actually received, and I was wonderin' about sumpin'...
I have a couple orders with an Expected Ship Date of 11/23, and they have the cancel box available, should I wish to do so.
I have OTHER orders with an Expected Ship Date of 11/30, and NO cancel box...
Seems to me it should be the other way around... but maybe my reasoning is skewed... any thoughts?
Now, I realize the Mint probably doesn't haver ALL the bugs worked out, but so interested parties can guage their respective orders against my own, here are my order numbers, all from 11/12:
33355*** 11/23 Ship date
33379*** 11/23 "
33401*** 11/30 "
33402*** 11/30 "
33410*** 11/30 "
Where's YOUR beef?
