It's really cheap. However, the ad does say that it comes with all this:
This set includes:

* Graphite head gasket
* Intake manifold gasket
* Exhaust manifold gasket
* Valve cover gasket
* Viton valve stem seals
* Camshaft front seals and other small gaskets, seals, and O-rings.

that seems pretty normal for a gasket set. However, for the price I'm not exactly sure what you are getting.

I've looked at that same kit because I need everything except the head gasket.

From what I can see, it doesn't include the rear main seal cover gasket or the front timing cover gaskets either. You can get those directly from Toyota if need be though.

I just bought this set to use along with my Toyota HG, except I got the gte one which is probably just the ge with the manifold>turbo and turbo> downpipe gaskets.

I know ill have to buy some but probably nothing big.

If you wait a few days (2-3), I should be able to show you what all it comes with.

It certainly looks like it. It definitely has the gaskets I mentioned in my previous post.

What it does include that doesn't seem to be necessary is the cork oil pan gasket. I don't know that these are necessarily a bad thing if used right but in my experience, cork cracks when you screw the pan bolts in. That is unless your pan is perfectly flat and you torque everything down exactly right.

Either way, if you want to be safe, just chuck it out and use a normal sealant like Toyota recommends!
