Toys with longevity - 7 year old boy edition

My son turns seven in a few weeks and I'm looking for his birthday present. We typically do one large-ish present and a few smaller ones, but open to changing that up. But all the toys he's received recently have palled on him after a couple of days of play. What toys did your kids (or you) play with over and over again and genuinely enjoy for the longest time? Trying to decrease pandemic-necessitated screen time as well.

For context, he likes Dogman, Captain Underpants, Hot Wheels and Geronimo Stilton. He loves to tinker and build things, but he loses interest in Lego quickly. Really enjoys his kiwi crates, but they only last a couple of hours once a month.

Thanks for the help, MetaFilter!
