Price point has never been an issue with me. I'd drop 250 easy, maybe even 300 for that set.

A lot of people want those figures but Neca isn't allowed to do them in in 7" scale at the moment. They seem to be getting more freedom with each convention release so I'd say it's possible in the future, just not right now. Plus, they haven't even released all four of the turtles in 1/4 scale yet so the 7" versions wouldn't have been ready in time for SDCC this year. For SDCC next year though, I'm expecting repaints of the toon figures in toy colors since 2018 would be the 30th anniversary for the original toy line. They'd get more milage out of the molds plus the boost from an anniversary. I'd also expect some black and white repaints of the Mirage Foot set from NYCC at some point too. You may have to wait a little while for those 7" movie figures .

TMNT is the biggest license Playmates has right now. If Neca or any other company was to start producing a 6" or 7" line of figures for mass retail, I doubt Playmates would survive. While fans will readily hand Neca their money for more figures, Playmates is gonna do what it has to in order to keep their doors open.
