I'm curious as to how many cycles have you gone through in your retina macbook.

It's irrelevant, as everyone's computing habits are different. Some use their MBPs primarily at their desk, while others are more mobile users.
 
Using iStat:

100% Health
56 Cycles

I've had this machine since around the release data of the MacBook Pro Retina.
 
without context in how the laptop is used, how are these random numbers going to help you at all?
 
14 weeks, 9 cycles.. 100% battery life.

As you can tell I leave it plugged in a lot. The 9 cycles are just when I unplugged it to get the battery some use (heard its better that way).
 
istat pro:

9 weeks old

cycles: 83
health: 96%

1 cycle, 105% health, 2 months old.

I wonder, is there some benefit to cycling the battery every so often (besides improving calibration)?
