I think these are arriving soon or maybe even trickling in. Lionel was doing a variety of liveries, including some of the great looking anniversary paint schemes. Wondering if anyone has heard anything or actually received one yet?

They've been in (roughly since August but maybe even sooner). You might have trouble finding the exact scheme. With the now BTO model of production, even if not labeled BTO, they are only building so many based on actual dealer orders.
Snapshot from a forum sponsor (pricing and other details removed to be more generic), again, ones with the pre-order tag are scheduled for December, where the others without that label have all come in. Just trying to make it easy to show a list and the paint schemes.

Thanks, Vernon.
I'm good to go as I've got the Midnight Blue (#100) version on pre-order. It's been so long that I don't recall exactly, but it's probably from Charles Ro as he gets most of my pre-orders.
I'm not a big Shipping Schedule watcher but do recall that these were in the Fall '22 timeframe for delivery. Should be seeing something soon.
FWIW, the local shop ordered one and as part of standard inventory intake, they are tested on arrival. So I got to see it first hand, these are very nice and typical of current LC+ 2.0 diesel production. It smokes great and runs nice with plenty of nice sounds. The unified LCP2 control board set thus far seems pretty decent (I have several legacy and LC+2.0 locos using that board set).
Maybe others will comment directly who own them but there are plenty of YT videos and more in depth reviews of the details and paint schemes and sounds.

Good to hear. I'm a PW guy and mostly conventional runner but do have a handful of LC Plus offerings and am very pleased with them. My first LC Plus 2.0 loco was one of the hot selling 0-6-0T's from a few years back and it runs well and smokes great.
Will have to check out some of the YT vids.
