I've not exactly studied the new toys and only seen the film twice, but from what I can see, there was a great deal of "minirig" about some of the pre release toys? Things like the crowd control two legged thing and the First Order Snowspeeder (although I think a stationary one was on screen in the background for 1 second).
There's probably more but I've not seen much of the toy line.
And have they not restricted themselves by not re-introducing the A, B and Y Wings and the Tie Interceptor and Bomber? And surely, 30 yrs on the Tie Advanced could have made it's big screen debut?
I guess some of these are answered by the fact TFA was SW/ESB/ROTJ "Lite"; a bare bones copy of the originals, if you will, so why complicate things with other ships? Also, perhaps it's a case of the toy market now being different to that of 38 years ago.
Hopefully it's not because JJ is so short of ideas he has to string out the connections to the OT by spreading things like the ships out across rhe films! Just kidding
