It has been confirmed that on October 1st, 08th MS Team will air at 5:00 replacing Dragonball. However, it is also confirmed that Toonami has cancelled Mobile Suit Gundam, which is very strange and disappointing since it hadn't even completed its run.In other News, Batman Beyond will be a new addition to the Toonami lineup, making the weekday schedule.

According to Bandai Entertainment, Gundam and Cowboy Bebop will return to the lineup in early October. More detailed information is expected from Cartoon Network shortly.

The long awaited universal century section of gundamofficial.com has finally opend along with new details on domestic model kits, DVD's among other things. Check it out here.

It appears that 08th MS Team has also been dropped from the Toonami Schedule according to this website. I recived the following news item, I haven't been able to confirm this, but thought I would post it since it sounds plausible:

Mobile Suit Gundam has been pulled from the air from Cartoon Network's Toonami block for the forseeable future as a result of the tragedy that occurred on September the eleventh. AOL/Time Warner has purportedly decided that due to the nature of this show and the atrocities of war that it depicts, now is not the right time to be airing the program. [It's removal is not a result of ratings, as it still recieves an acceptable share. It was not expected to be fully embraced immidiately, it was felt that the animation quality would distract many viewers, the hope was that as more recent shows of the Zeon era were aired, interest would increase.] As for the future of 0080:War in a Pocket, 0083:Stardust Memory, 08th MS team, and the ongoing Zedd Gundam preproduction, they're futures are still unclear at this time. Cartoon Network would still like to continue as planned at some point, but as of now, that may be some weeks off. The preceding was a paraphrasing of memo that has recently gone out in the Cartoon Network offices. the big suprise, in one opinion at least, was that Zeta Gundam is in the works! It seems to make sense, though, as First Gundam was shown on Monday, but not since. Hopefully it will return after a recovery period from the WTC/Pentagon tragedies.

Without much announcement, First Gundam has disappeared from the upcoming Toonami schedule without completing its episode run. It appears that First Gundam has been cancelled. More when we know it.

Hopefully airing of Gundam 0083 and Gundam 0080 on Toonami will continue as planned. First Gundam is being released on DVD in the USA so you can finish off the series by renting or buying a copy!

In a recent email to customers who ordered the Master Grade FAZZ Sentinel:

Unfortunately, although we ordered (and would normally be expected to receive) many hundreds of this item, our three distributors were able to provide us with a grand total of a mere 19 pieces.  Reports from our distributors are that some problem with the tooling for the kit prevented Bandai from being able to manufacture any more of this item at this time.
The next release of this kit is not until late October, and we've been told not to expect any more until then.  Worse, apparently the odds are not good that we will even be able to get the amount of stock we need at that time.

The FAZZ Sentinel version doesn't even appear on the Gundam Channel Official Website.This seems to be the latest in a string of Master Grade Production problems for Bandai. Lets hope its not a trend that continues...

The second installment of the 08thMsTeam OVA series is now available at local anime stores and DVD stores.  This installment comes with a reversable cover and MS Encyclopedia.  If you are a fan of the series, it is a must buy.

On September 18, Gundam Wing begins is run on "Italia 1" network Tv. This new is very remarkable, because Gundam was broadcasted in Italy for the first time in 1981, and then never aired again since 1983 because of legal troubles. All the way, Gundam is still a very loved character here in the "Belpaese", so the broadcasting of the "Gundam Wing" series will put concrete basis to the long awaited return of the whole White Mobile Suit saga and merchandising in Italy.

As you all probally know Toonami skipped the 13th episode of the 8th MS Team.  But know on October 13th they will be airing it for the first time in the US. 

Mobile Suit Gundam will be taken off the air right after it completes its run. Toonami's ratings for MSG were 42% lower than last year's Dragonball re-runs.  On October 1st, MSG will be replaced by 08th MS Team, which provided 9% better viewership than its last year's predecessor. Hopefully these rating will not affect future Gundam releases on Toonami.
