Souce: sealed set (European version). It was 66gr (not 55gr that was a typo).

I note that the weight of Canadian box is about 10-11gr more. Checked this with
two copies of European box and two copies of Canadian box. Though, the size of
boxes are exactly the same and they look identical, besides the extra prints
on the Canadian box.

So

The weight of empty Canadian box: 28gr
The weight of empty European box: 18gr

The weight of Canadian complete set with box and instruction (and considering
1gr extra for a mini catalog): 76gr
The weight of European sealed set: 66gr

Please add these as additional note.
If time permits, I add photos of both boxes.

Almost every single set in the BrickLink catalog has different versions from
different regions with different packaging and different weights. It was decided
longggg ago that the site would not track this information and only display the
largest weights reported. Since you are reporting the data from a sealed European
version and not a sealed Canadian version, the European numbers will be used.
Therefore, I have updated the weight of the set to 66g and not added any additional
notes.

Cheers,
Randy
