I too was surprised at the lack of new vehicles and beasts in this movie. The cynical side of me thought that it seemed at times GL went out of his way to have new vehicles in a movie just so there could be new toys.
Other than Rey's speeder, Kylo Ren's shuttle, and the First Order landing craft, there really weren't any new vehicles in the movie. Did we even see more than a flash of the exterior of the freighter thing that Han/Chewie were on?
And of those vehicles, we've already got Rey's speeder. I'm not sure Kylo Ren's shuttle would make a good toy. Maybe the only one that could be turned in to a toy would be the First Order landing craft, and that didn't seem all that neat.
About the only even minor beast is the scavenger that grabbed BB-8 (sorry I don't have everyone's names memorized yet) and that hippo/pig/dog thing that was at the watering hole on Jakku. I can't see them making the hippo/pig/dog thing.
I guess maybe it doesn't matter with the rapid fire nature of these movies. We don't need a movie to last us for three years from a merchandising perspective. Probably only 12 months with all the new stuff coming.
