I think that's too simple an answer. The list didn't contain any really
shocking information. It had some Star Wars sets, which are fairly
recognisable by their names- and then it had some other set names which could,
frankly, be just about anything. Certainly nothing earth-shattering, and
nothing the competition couldn't have figured on Lego doing without the aid of
a very non-specific[1] list.

1] The list was certainly specific about the names, set numbers, and estimated
prices of new sets- but that's not a whole lot to go on, except in the case of
Star Wars sets.
