This is the 9395 pick-up truck kit that I originally built with my son about ten years ago. We never got around to building the other model it could do, but I recently got back into Lego and decided to give it a go.
The instructions for the alternative model were not included, but you can download them. There are three books with almost 200 pages in total. It will take several hours to build and I did it over a few days. It is not too difficult, although some of the diagrams are a little hard to make out. There are lots of similar parts and you need to make sure you use the right ones.
I like that there are lots of moving parts on this model. I would have loved it when I was a kid, but I can still appreciate it now. I do have a lot of respect for the designers. Once built it is quite robust, so you can play with it. I know there is a whole scene of Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs). It could be an expensive hobby.
We have some other Lego around the house, so I may feature more of it soon.

That is a really cool kit, and I'd say it was better and more enjoyable to space the build over a few evenings rather than all in one day. I really like how the pieces move as it is being wheeled along, there are so many cool details in it. Also, yeah, I can imagine it being pretty expensive now since it isn't in production anymore.
I just looked at the suggestions and saw that you put a Star Wars one up, I'm going to check that out next haha, I love Star Wars, I actually had a few of the mini kit sets when I was younger, they came in packs of two and my dad would pick me up one occasionally and after a few months I had the collection, they were really cool, mini scout walkers and snow speeders. I have to root them out.
I have a pretty big vintage collection of Kenner figures and ships, and I'm working on a display for them in my office at the moment.

The truck was fun and so was the Star Wars, in different ways. I have them above my desk and they raise a smile. I saw Star Wars in 1977 and it's still going. We have a load more Lego in the loft and I may go through that some time.

That looks pretty cool! Yeah, I'm with you, I would have loved sets like that when I was a kid.
Have you seen some of these lego tensegrity models some people have designed? I keep intending to order the necessary pieces and copy one of these. I love it. Here's a few examples:
Those are really cool. I'd probably have the bits to make a simple example in this kit, but I want to keep the truck for now.

I used to love the Technic kits when I was a kid. All the moving parts and all of that. I think I had a bulldozer that had the pneumatic pieces that you could make the blade go up and down and stuff. My dad just bought himself his first Lego set the other day. His hands shake pretty bad, so the small parts were hard, but he managed! Nice looking truck!
I'm not sure Technic was big when I was into Lego as a kid. I did have some kit with gears though. It's a bit like doing a puzzle. I think people just like building and creating things.
When I was quite little my dad had an Erector set. That thing was pretty cool.
There is something hugely rewarding about lego building and I say that even from the kiddy ones that I am used to making. I wouldn't mind having a crack at one of the more complex ones with movey bits!
Lots of movey bits on this one. My son is still into Lego at 21. He got some for Xmas, but I won't get to help him with those.
Ah, I think @new.things will like this post; he LOVES Lego 🤩
That’s beyond cool. Uber cool perhaps! However I sadly don’t have the patience these days.
It's a nice little distraction. I can do it whilst listening to podcasts or Youtube videos. I think we have another I could rebuild.
I don't play with Lego myself but I do like to see people build things with them. I recently watched Lego Master that was really good, and did you see the guy last week who built the Peak District from lego?
People do amazing stuff with it. I've not watched that show recently, but they had access to a lot of bricks. It can be quite hard on the fingers, but maybe it helps dexterity a bit.
That set looks amazing, I imagine it took some time to put it all together. I'm a lego fan, but sometimes I think about buying a set because I think they are a bit expensive. Although, if it's Star Wars, there's a high probability that I'll buy it.
The kits can be expensive with some of the Star Wars ones at the high end. I took my time with this one as I was in no rush. I may just treat myself to another now and then. I need to sort through what we have.
Once you start, it is very difficult to stop. It's totally worth it, well, at least for me, putting them together is a relaxing activity. The problem with time, though, is the space that many legos need :(
I've always loved lego pieces, ever since I got my first set at the age of four, really, I spent hours and hours building houses, cars and stuff. I'm glad you did this activity with your son, it helps you spend quality time with him and is something both you and he will value.
