Well I wasn't advocating that the Club handle the SDCC exclusives, but that figures like Zatana would likely end up in the Club's sub if it were successful.
I think Hasbro made Zatana as the exclusive because it had nowhere else to put her - they didn't believe she would fit at retail, and likely didn't think she'd be an acceptable store exclusive. If you look at the other brands they did exclusives for this year, they did packaging/deco variants of retail figures. Except Indy, which was a one-off to please the fans of that line.
What I am hoping for is that eventually Hasbro won't put such a desirable character as their SDCC exclusive, but instead something that might be cool but non-essential, like a set of 30th Anniversary figures on 25th cardbacks or something like that.
