What do I need to build this?

Hello Element14 community, I recently stumbled upon this project on Kickstarter and I want to build my own version of it. The project is a laser tagging system with an LCD Screen. I'm not sure what the supplies are, that are needed to build the project. I need to know what I should buy to make my version. Thank you very much!

    They say it's open source. If you're a backer of $99 they will send you a kit. All you would need to do is copy what they have already. You'll need their own Arduino code, so you'll have to wait for that at least. They are using an Arduino Uno, 240x320 TFT LCD screen, lots of LED's and some kind of switch for the trigger (maybe a limit switch) and a battery pack strong enough to power it all. If is comes with a shell (gun) in the $99 package, this sounds like a bargain.
