very cool I'm assuming you maybe flew from England to Dublin and then Dublin to the US? if so, did you collect your bags in Dublin airport and then re-check them in after preclearance in Dublin? or did your bags just go all the way through from England to the US? 

Yes, though having one stopover, I found the pre-clearance very convenient, I knew someone waited 2 hrs to enter US in SFO, but it took me no more than 15 mins. 

I bought an interline ticket, the checked baggage was directly transferred to US, no need to collect it in Dublin.

Good luck with your trip!

cool, all very good to know  thanks for all the info!! 

I guess I read somewhere that when you're immigrating they need to scan your bags when you're going through customs/immigration so i thought maybe i'd have to collect my bags in dublin first so they could do that

Now that you mentioned, I also remember reading somewhere that the CBP officer asked to collect the checked baggage and scanned it. Well, I'm glad I totally forgot this when I booked the ticket:D

Maybe it's just Dublin, but I can confirm based on my experience you don't have to in Dublin.
