So should I return my new MacBook pro and wait for the new ones?

Well, the 2013's are probably going to be better than the 2012's, so you may want to wait for those...Waiting for "better" tech is a fools game where you'll never actually own anything, the computer you buy today was outdated the minute it rolled off the assembly line.
If you can wait for a few weeks, then you absolutely should. You will get more bang for your buck (assuming prices stay the same, which is very likely). Now, if the rumors were saying 6 months, then not really worth waiting. But, since signs point to fairly soon, if you have something viable to get you by, by all means wait.
I ended up paying $2600 for my MBP 17" and that includes a 128GB SSD, a 750GB HDD in the optibay, and 16GBs of RAM. It's doubtful the new MBPs will offer a noticeable speed bump from that, and even more doubtful they'll have retina displays. I don't play games in this machine so there's no much reason to pine over a newer GPU. With an SSD and the GPU that's already in this MBP, Photoshop and other GPU optimized software runs plenty fast enough for what I need to do.
In fact, I think if I didn't need a new laptop when I did, I probably would have waited for the new release and bought this same model at a greater discount.

Or since they're a new design, they could be totally problematic. Accessories will be limited at first, and they could generally just be a plain nightmare.
Roll the dice
At least the current ones are a known entity.Look at what a total prize the first gen MBA's are.... (yes, I'm being sarcastic)
That really depends on where he bought it. Many places have price guarantees, and if it drops within that window just go back and get a refund for the difference. I know I have 45 days at Best Buy
Im surprised you bought a 2K laptop unless you needed it?
there rumors of a Apr-June release have been pretty much the same for months so what would make you think this way today?

I don't know, if it was me probably i have reterned, but it is up to u.

----------
Me too wants 17 inch but probably we will need to wait up to 3 more month from now because of see my previouse post....
p.s.
But probably i will wait dispite that it will not be easy to do so....

Depends on what size model you're talking about. By all accounts the 15s are going to be updated first, with the 13s and 17s coming later on in the summer.
If you are looking to pick up a 15, I would wait. If it is one of the other sizes then I would look at need. If you have something that can hold you over until the refresh, then wait. If you don't have another machine and are going to need one in the next 4-6 weeks....then bite.
