I got my retina Macbook Pro just now. Once I got it, I immediately download ML and do a clean install on it.

I just realized that I didn't claim the iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand) on App Store at the first place. Now, since I'm in fresh install ML, I don't have any iLife and on the App Store it says that I have to pay for each iPhoto, iMovie and Garagaband

Do you have any idea how to claim back my iLife that comes built in in new macbook?

Oops... I know that Support can give you a code. I don't know if there's an easier way.

Not sure if perhaps I should have posted this here...

You neeeded to go to the MAS and click accept under purchase BEFORE you clean installed. Talk to apple support and explain your situation.
