In Europe they were on sale a few days ago. I have to buy the Sleeping Beauty one again. I had a problem with my air-conditioning. It was under it an a few drops of water fall on it so the golden pain on the pages are damaged.

Just a word of warning, I don't think these are the exact same replica journals as before. They're all labeled "small" in the titles and description. I think these are mini versions of the previous journals so if you need to replace one or are missing one, this won't match your collection.

I double checked the measurements from the old journals to these new ones. New ones are 7'' H x 5 1/2'' W x 3/4'' D. Old ones are 11'' H x 8 3/4'' W x 1 1/4'' D. So it's definitely half the size of the old ones.

The same thing happened to me. My cover was actually stained from rain drops but I was able to swap it out for a new one. But that was a while back and now my Cinderella journal has damage so I'll need to find an old one on Ebay for a decent price to replace it. These journals are pretty but way too fragile. Whatever material used for the covers is very soft so anything you put on the journals leaves permanent marks and dents. Now I'm keeping mine wrapped up in bubble wrap.

Thank you for posting, UF! I wanted these back when bit couldn't afford them then. I can get them now. I'll pass on the Pinocchio one though; would rather have TSitS's storybook, it was very nice.

Are we going to ignore that Lavendergolden discovered they are smaller than the originals? Thank you for that, Lavender.

Lol thank you for reading my comment and you're welcome. I just wanted to make sure nobody gets tricked into buying something that isn't what they were expecting and has buyers remorse afterwards.

I had looked at the size and dimensions, but I didn't know the first release were larger. Oh well, but I was going to buy them anyway. But it would've been nice to have them larger no doubt.

Edit: They came this morning--they look great! I'm glad I didn't pass on the Pinocchio one, the clasps turned out really good. Both it and Cinderella looked better than I would've thought (the Cinderella one looks a bt like a diary, tbh). The SB one wasn't quite as good as I hoped; it's the best of the storybook designs and probably the hardest one to re-create. If only they had made TSitS, too, it has my favorite of the storybook designs after SW and SB. And especially since it's the only other storybook they could make other than a live-action film like Enchanted.
