Yea bit of a piss take innit mate, I think it's about Ԛ£1200 for the whole kit!

They're either fair priced for bits you want or rip off merchants.

I'm pretty sure someone used to sell an m-tech kit (non genuine) for like Ԛ£800, having seen the quality, Ԛ£1200 for a genuine sounds like a bargain! :lol:
