You may need to claim of car or house insurance if you don't have the master, it'll cost a packet. OK you lost them but what if somebody finds them, is there amy identity on them that means they can take the car or get in the house?

Lexus are saying to replace the ECU module this will cost £1400, i can get the ECU and key made from another person for £450

And here is how to do it for just over a tenner......

have the key cut to your car.

take out the electronics and fit to the newly cut case..

Reprogram the key for your car..

The links are just examples... there is always plenty available, both 3 and 2 button versions..

but u need an original master key to do that as the codes are stored within the ecu........

True, but it is unusual to lose ALL the keys..

Not hard to do though. You only get 2 masters, over a few years one of them may well disappear. My IS only had one left and I got it from a dealer, and since they are expensive I didn't get another one made up. So sometimes you only need to lose one to find yourself in this situation, not all of them...
