LEGO set 10143 “Death Star II” depicts the second Death Star from Star Wars in the Ultimate Collector Series.

The model represents the Imperial battle station from the Star Wars saga, shown with its partially completed exterior. Within the Star Wars theme, it sits in the Ultimate Collector Series, a line associated with display focused builds rather than character driven scenes.

The build is centered on the station’s spherical form, combining finished outer plating with exposed structural areas. Its 3461 pieces are used for surface texture, recesses, and technical detailing.

This set is aimed mainly at collectors and builders looking for a display model tied to the Empire. Compared with Star Wars sets built around minifigure play or scene recreation, 10143 is better understood as a large object model, suited to display within a themed collection.
