Well, remember what happened with Town. First they came out with Jack
stone, to get the tykes hooked. Then this year we have Extreme Sports
island, World City, etc. which are the minifig-scale versions of Jack
Stone. The kids who played with Jack Stone could then "graduate" to
these newer minifig town themes.
One might venture to guess that these weird-scale knights and pirates
are a precursor to minifig-scale sets in future years for those same
kids when they get a bit older.
In other words, it's a GOOD thing!
