When I saw the Lego design, I fell in love with it... military stuff, I just dig it in Star Wars.
That said... I've felt like the FO sure have as little regard for their troops as the old Empire did, with the forward-facing ramps and all. The Higgins Boats were as they were because the design warranted it. In Star Wars, you'd think they'd at least have side-opening doors, haha. But still, Empire gonna Empire and stuff so I dig it. TIE's seem about as ****** as ever too as well, save for the 2-seater's obvious enhancements.
I thought vehicle designs were pretty nifty this film in general. Much cooler than some of the PT stuff that came out. See my praise of the Snowspeeder "Speep" I can't get enough of. Hoping I can find more of it at this point. Wish it'd be on sale, but I'll suffice with just finding one or two more at retail.
