Approx. fluid change intervals

I just turned 12K miles, and I pretty much plan on following the MM schedule for fluid intervals. But I was wondering what are the approximate intervals for the transmission and transfer case?

From some other threads, I know the rear diff is somewhere around 15K, and approx. every 30K after that.

I wanted to know if I should be purchasing some of the other fluids yet based on my current mileage. I'm not going to worry about it if it's a ways off.

Also, completely off-topic, but what is it with some of these local Honda stealerships charging 30% OVER MSRP for parts?? I think they wanted like $20 for a pair of wiper inserts.....WTF!

Charging those prices, they can't be scratching their heads as to why they don't get much foot traffic into the parts dept.
Just did my 2nd service (B16), mileage was 13,800. Oil (I am odd-cycle filter from Honda cuz I forgot and changed the filter the first oil change), tire rotation, and rear differential fluid.
