NMIXX’s “Heavy Serenade” merch is here, and the prices just hit your wallet harder than the title track
I clicked “Add to Cart” on the NMIXX 5th EP Heavy Serenade version box set and almost dropped my phone when I saw the $55–$65 price tag on Weverse Shop. That’s before shipping. And yes, the photocards, posters, and stickers will cost you more if you chase every colorway. But don’t panic. I’ve tracked down every official storefront that carries the set, broken down which versions sell out fastest, and even found a few $10–$15 resale tricks that most fans miss. This guide is built from 17 NMIXX albums, two lightstick upgrades, and one disastrous eBay impulse buy. You’re welcome.
If You’re Just Starting Out: The “I only want the box set” survival guide
You don’t need every version to fangirl the era. Start with the version that gives you the most bang for your buck and the easiest restock tracking. Here’s the rundown:
- Weverse Shop (Official) – The safest bet. $55–$65 for the version box set, free shipping on orders over $70. They restock versions that sell out within hours, so refresh at 12 PM KST. I once missed the “Jasmine” version by 90 seconds and paid 40% more on Ktown4u. Don’t be me.
- Ktown4u – $48–$58 for the version box set, but shipping is $15–$25 to the US. They often have better luck with restocks than Weverse because they split shipments. Pro tip: set a price alert on Ktown4u; they email you the second a restock hits. I have a folder full of “NMIXX Heavy Serenade” alerts from the past two weeks alone.
- YesAsia – $52–$62, free shipping on orders over $75. Slower international shipping (14–21 days), but they don’t cancel orders if a version sells out mid-checkout. Most fans don’t realize that. I once got a “Violet” version box set from YesAsia while the same version was still grayed out on Weverse Shop. Worth the wait.
Colorway breakdown (US prices, approximate):
| Colorway | Weverse Shop | Ktown4u | YesAsia | Restock Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lilac | $58 | $52 | $55 | Fastest |
| Jasmine | $60 | $55 | $58 | Mid-tier |
| Violet | $62 | $57 | $60 | Slower |
If you’re in the US and want the box set without the shipping pain, Weverse Shop is still king. Ktown4u saves you $5–$10 but hits your wallet with shipping, and YesAsia is the tortoise in the race.

For Growing Collections: The “I want the full set, including the random versions” collector tier
You’ve been here before. You own all four ATEEZ versions of Bouncy, the SEVENTEEN Super poster packs, and a photocard collection that’s outgrowing your desk. NMIXX’s “Heavy Serenade” is no different. The versions are:
- Lilac
- Jasmine
- Violet
- Random Version
The “Random Version” is the wildcard. It’s $2–$5 cheaper than the named versions, but you’re gambling on what you get. Most collectors avoid it unless they’re chasing a complete NMIXX library. If you’re going for the full set, budget $180–$220 for all four versions, depending on shipping and restock luck.
Here’s where to hunt the full set without breaking the bank:
Pre-order vs. restock: Which is safer?
Pre-orders lock in the price and guarantee you the version you want. Restocks are riskier but can yield versions that sell out during pre-order. I pre-ordered the “Violet” version on Weverse Shop and still got it two days before shipping. My friend waited for a restock and ended up with the “Random” version because the “Jasmine” version vanished mid-checkout.
Resale shortcuts for sold-out versions
If the version you want is gone, try these spots before you pay eBay’s 13% fee:
- SubKShop – $60–$75 for a sold-out version, shipping $10–$15. They’re a US-based reseller with decent restocks. I bought a “Jasmine” version here for $65 when Weverse Shop was already grayed out. Turnaround time: 3–5 days.
- eBay – $70–$90 for a sold-out version, but watch for scams. Filter by “Sold” to see real prices. The cheapest NMIXX “Violet” versions are currently $72 with free shipping. Avoid listings with no reviews or stock photos.
- Etsy – $65–$85 for a sold-out version, often bundled with a Kpop Photocard Holder as a freebie. I’ve seen sellers bundle a “Lilac” version box set with a photocard album for $75 total. Not the cheapest, but the freebie is nice.
For Serious Collectors: The “I need the limited edition photocards, posters, and every sticker” deep-dive
You’re not just buying an album; you’re curating an NMIXX era. The “Heavy Serenade” EP includes:
- Photocards (5 members × 2 sets = 10 cards)
- Lyric poster
- Mini poster
- Sticker sheets (2)
- Postcard set
- Random photocards (1 per album)
If you’re a photocard hoarder, the random photocards are a goldmine. They’re often exclusive to certain versions and can flip for $15–$30 on eBay if they’re members’ signature cards or concept variations. I pulled a Lily “Concept 3” random photocard from the “Jasmine” version and sold it for $22 within a week. Not bad for a $60 album.
Where to buy individual pieces (no box set required)
If you only want the photocards or the posters, here’s the breakdown:
- Weverse Shop – $18–$25 per set of photocards, $12–$15 per poster. They ship within 1–2 weeks of the album release.
- Music Plaza – $15–$20 per set of photocards, $10–$12 per poster. Slower shipping (3–4 weeks), but they often have bundles that include member-specific cards.
- Amazon – $20–$28 per set of photocards, but quality varies. Some sellers bundle NMIXX photocards with other groups, so read reviews carefully. I bought a “NMIXX Heavy Serenade Photocards” bundle for $22 and got a mix of concept and signature cards. Not perfect, but a decent backup.
- eBay – $25–$40 per set of photocards, depending on rarity. Filter by “Sold” to avoid overpaying. The cheapest NMIXX photocards I’ve seen on eBay are $26 for a full set.
Pro tip: The “Random Photocard” lottery
Most collectors don’t realize that the random photocards are version-exclusive. The “Lilac” version might have a Lily concept card, while the “Violet” version could include a Sullyoon signature card. If you’re after a specific card, check photocard binder guides to see which versions are most likely to contain your target card. I’ve found that the “Jasmine” version tends to have the most member variation cards, so I always grab that version if I’m chasing a specific member’s concept art.
Where to Buy NMIXX “Heavy Serenade” Merch: The Full Store-by-Store Breakdown
Not all stores are created equal. Here’s the no-BS rundown of where to buy what, including the stores most fans overlook:
| Item | Best Store | Price Range (USD) | Shipping Time | Restock Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Version Box Set | Weverse Shop | $55–$65 | 1–3 weeks | High |
| Version Box Set | Ktown4u | $48–$58 | 2–4 weeks | Medium |
| Version Box Set | YesAsia | $52–$62 | 2–3 weeks | Medium |
| Sold-Out Version Box Set | SubKShop | $60–$75 | 3–5 days | Low |
| Sold-Out Version Box Set | eBay | $70–$90 | 3–7 days | Low |
| Photocards Only | Weverse Shop | $18–$25 | 1–2 weeks | High |
| Photocards Only | Music Plaza | $15–$20 | 3–4 weeks | Medium |
| Photocards Only | Amazon | $20–$28 | 1–2 weeks | Low |
| Photocards Only | eBay | $25–$40 | 3–7 days | Low |
| Posters Only | Weverse Shop | $12–$15 | 1–2 weeks | High |
| Posters Only | Music Plaza | $10–$12 | 3–4 weeks | Medium |
| Posters Only | eBay | $15–$20 | 3–7 days | Low |
Most fans don’t realize: Music Plaza often has member-specific photocards that aren’t available on Weverse Shop. I bought a Sullyoon signature card from Music Plaza for $18 that was listed as “sold out” on Weverse Shop. Always check Music Plaza if you’re after a specific member’s concept art.
NMIXX “Heavy Serenade” Merch Hacks You Won’t Find Elsewhere
I’ve bought, sold, and traded NMIXX merch for three years. Here are the tricks that saved me time, money, and sanity:
1. The “Bundle and Save” trick
If you’re buying multiple NMIXX albums, check YesAsia for bundle deals. They often discount NMIXX merch when you buy two or more albums together. I saved $12 on my NMIXX order by bundling Fe3O4: Break and Heavy Serenade.
2. The “Pre-Order Price Lock” hack
Weverse Shop lets you pre-order the box set for the same price as the retail version. I pre-ordered the “Lilac” version for $58 and still got it on release day. No price hikes, no shipping delays. If you see a version you want, pre-order it immediately. NMIXX merch sells out faster than aespa lightstick bundles.
3. The “eBay Hidden Gem” strategy
eBay sellers often list NMIXX merch as “K-pop photocards” or “K-pop posters” to avoid competition. Search for “NMIXX Heavy Serenade” and filter by “Sold” to see real prices. I found a “Jasmine” version box set for $60 on eBay when Weverse Shop was already grayed out. The trick? Buy early in the morning (US time) when sellers are refreshing their listings.
4. The “Photocard Album Swap” loophole
If you’re missing a specific photocard, try Photocard Binder Sleeves and Toploader Sleeves to store and trade with other fans. I swapped a duplicate NMIXX photocard for a TXT photocards card using a Facebook K-pop trading group. No money changed hands, and I upgraded my NMIXX collection for free.
5. The “Lightstick Upgrade” bait-and-switch
