I thought I saw a USB-C adapter that had four USB ports? If that's the case all you need is that one adapter and you get four USB ports along with a charging port all in one small item.
Got a tip for us?

what about an external display? That is what I mean. I don't see a single adapter that has USB, power, and external display.
I don't think my situation is that unique. I am sure tons of people "dock" when they get to work and use clamshell mode. I don't need the power of a pro, but I would need the ports in seems.
I was definitely exaggerating with 4 adapters, but yeah it would take me 2. I "want" the new rMB, but I really do not use a computer out and about that much. I dock it when I get to work (sometimes am mobile at work), but nothing screams I need portability.
It would look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster perched itself on the left side of the new rMB.
(iOS auto-capitalized FSM LOL)
Yeah...but what's the difference between looking like the Flying Spaghetti Monster (the rMB) and looking like the Great Shiny Arachnid (my rMPB, with various things plugged into its ports)? The number of cables is the same. Arguably the dongle is a better cable management solution.
That assumes that I can use a USB 3 hub on the dongle, which seems likely but with USB hubs I've learned the hard way not to take things for granted.
London UK Regent Street:
Not displayed, not available, nobody had any info.

I have just been checking online. I do not think the stores will get stock until Wednesday at best based on in store pick ups not being ready until then.
The Plaza apple store in KC, MO had one table of display models. Two of each color.
The Leawood, KS apple store had TWO tables of display models. Two of each color on each table. I'm really surprised they didn't just do one table and send the rest to other stores.
I ordered last night and it said 4-6 weeks

After reading all the information I'm confident enough to say stores will receive inventory Thursday. It seems there is a second wave of shipments and it includes people who ordered online and inventory to stores.
Sigh. Looks like Thursday availability at stores is likely. Mine should be here on Thursday according to Fedex, but I'm taking off to a week long vacation overseas on Wed (really Tue night). I'm expecting some light weight work needing to be done (reviewing designs, giving directions, some spec work etc) and would love to have the rMB to reduce the traveling weight and have a proper use case trial. I guess my MBA11" will be with me, which is by all means, light and thin enough.
The Apple Store in Jacksonville, FL (St. Johns Town Center - http://www.apple.com/retail/stjohnstowncenter/) had plenty of display models available for all 3 colors.
Cambridge, UK: Not displayed, not available.
I went in yesterday to try one out before buying it. They didn't know when they would receive one.
