No way of knowing about all you can do is keep checking both here and at the Marlin site thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/12/28/new-marlin-lever-guns/

No specific ETA from Marlin, but it has been my experience once Marlin updates their website with the new models, distribution will commence within a week or two from that point. (Just check their website regularly) : thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/12/28/new-marlin-lever-guns/
