Awesome. I wonder if the special set is just a combo of the proof/unc or if its something completely seperate.

This is from the website. Not sure if this answers your question or not. I wish it were part of the subscription series. I'd hate to miss out.
A special set containing a proof silver dollar and proof versions of four 2009 Lincoln one-cent coins-each bearing a design representative of a different aspect of Lincoln's life-is expected to be available in the spring. The special set will be limited to 50,000 units.

It doesn't answer the important question though. Will the proof cents in the set be copper or zinc?

this is where things will get tricky, it could be that this set will be zinc while the annual proof set will be copper, the other way around, or both one or the other. We will have to wait and see. either way there will be at least 16 different lincoln cents and possibly many more

The special set should be bronze, and probably will be, but you never know with the U.S. Mint.
I'd like to get a set of UNC and a set of proofs but I'm not sure if a UNC set is even planned.

Im a Canadian citizen and collector, however, myself included, I think this is a tremendious coin representing a temendious president.
I had the fortune of visiting Gettysburg approx 2 years ago, which provided me not only an opportunity to see the topography of the area where the bloodiest battle of the civil war took place, but also an opportunity to learn more about the entire war and your great president.
I wouldn't be surprised if I end up buying this coin as well.

When will they post if the lincoln cents are zinc or copper? It's getting close to crunch time, only 9 more days left.

From what I recall reading a while ago, there will be three Lincoln issues for 2009:
1) Commemorative Silver Dollar
2) Collector issue of coins in original 95% Copper and 5% Tin/Zinc
3) Standard issue for circulation in 97.5% Zinc and 2.5% Copper)
We'll know soon enough for sure...

Will there be a limit as to how many proofs you can buy?
